People felt the August 9 Tokyo Earthquake for miles–er, kilometers! Why didn’t any of us feel it? Because we were already unsteady on our feet trying to blend in with the rest of the dancers. We did not notice anything falling off shelves. We were right by a train station and surrounded by enormous, pounding taiko drums. What rumbling?

I missed many an earthquake by being on a train. Best place for feeling an earthquake is on the top floor of a high rise…I had a friend who was permanently freaked out after a strong one hit while she was in her 30th floor apt.
