Two earthquakes

We had two earthquakes in Japan this week - a medium sized one on Sunday night (August 8th) and a slightly larger one Tuesday morning (Auguts 10th). The Sunday one was closer to us but a very deep earthquake, from what I heard. It lasted a long time but didn't do anything to our house other than make the lights sway and make the house creak. The Tuesday one was a quite a bit father away so we actually felt it less, even though it was a bigger earthquake.

Hopefully, there won't be any others any time soon. Since our building is only two years old, it should do okay in an earthquake, but I'm not interested in finding that out first hand.
