An earthquake measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale has shaken this Thursday in Tokyo, whose skyscrapers began to sway dangerously. No news yet of casualties and damage. Although at first feared a tsunami, Japanese television NHK reported that it does not exist such a danger.

The high speed train between Tokyo and Yokohama was stopped for a reasonable time. Also the country's main airport was closed and then reopened after the inspection of its three tracks.

The epicenter was located on the east coast of the capital, 70 kilometers deep, so that the quake could be felt with a remarkable intensity in Tokyo. Japan is one of the countries most affected by earthquakes, because it is situated atop four tectonic plates.

Ayumi and I were in the dining room when the earthquake struck yesterday afternoon. Just drive 15 seconds and did not seem much, in fact I heard a noise like a washing-up but I did not care until Ayumi said -! Earthquake! -. The ground did not move almost, but the cabinets made the noise I thought it was a washing machine. As I realized it was an earthquake took the camera to make a video, but when I started recording the video hardly felt the earthquake.
The first video that you see is the video I recorded yesterday, shows only the sound of furniture. The second video is what can happen if there comes a magnitude 7 earthquake.
