This morning my state, North Carolina, had its strongest earthquake

in 94 years! It was a 5.1-magnitude earthquake. I felt it in my house, but it was mild in my city. I was surprised, because earthquakes are rarely felt here. It reminded me of living in Japan.

    @Yoshi Thank you! 😊

  • Yoshi

    I just noticed this one. Oh my goodness, you experienced the earthquake. It was very horrible for you. I am glad that you and your familly were safe. I hope the earthquake will not be happened again forever.

  • Sachi

    @Annabel Thank you. Right, ..maybe everybody gets used to have earthquake in Japan. I hope NOT big one would come!

  • Annabel

    @Casane Thank you! I am doing well. There was no damage in my area and no one was injured. 💕

  • Annabel

    @Sachi Yes, thankfully there was no damage in my area. And, oh yes, I do remember the frequent earthquakes there. I was terrified the first time, which was in the middle of the night shortly after I arrived in Japan, but I mostly got used to it after a while. I'm glad your earthquake last night was not bad!

  • Annabel

    @yuki ゆき 😄We are state neighbors. Tennessee is a beautiful state. I'm glad you didn't feel it over there. It is always a bit unsettling.

  • Annabel

    @Daisuke Oh wow! That must have been very scary. Earthquakes are incredibly powerful. It is amazing. I'm glad you were okay!

  • Casane

    大丈夫でしたか？けがはなかった？？😢 地震怖いですよね😢 余震に気をつけて！

  • Sachi

    You must be surprised and scary! I hope you and your family (and your ALL pets,too!!) didn't get any damage from that! In Japan ,especially in my area ,we have earthquake often so I'm really get used to it. Actually, we had one last night when I was reading a book, I felt big shaking for an instant but it finished soon, though!

  • yuki ゆき

    I'm glad to hear you are safe. I'm in the middle of TN, so that I didn't feel it.

  • Daisuke

    I’m relieved to hear that you’re safe. It reminds me of the big earth quake hit San Francisco in 1989. I was there at that time and still remember so scary.

  • Annabel

    @Noriko のりこ Thank you!💕

  • Noriko のりこ

    The earthquake is really scary. I was also scared of the morning earthquake. I'm glad you didn't have anything. I was relieved to hear that it was safe.

  • Hiromi

    @Annabel Nature is great ❗️

  • Annabel

    @Hiromi Yes, they are unsettling. It is always a little scary and unexpected. 😳😬

  • Hiromi

    Earthquakes are really terrified ! It was happens suddenly. Even if I live in Japan,I won’t get used to it.

  • Annabel

    @Marine Yes, there does seem to be more lately. 😞

  • Annabel

    @Kei_JPtutor It was 5.1 at the epicenter, but I live a distance from there. Thankfully, there seems to have only been a little damage and no injuries.

  • Annabel

    @Mana That always helps me, too! Have a good day! 😊

  • Annabel

    @Hiroko Thank you! There was a little shaking, but no damage in my city. There was some damage near the epicenter, but there were no injuries.

  • Annabel

    @Hitoshi Yes, thankfully it was mild near my home. It sounds like there was some damage near the epicenter. Thankfully, I don't think there were any injuries.

  • Marine

    It's good it was mild in your place. There have been more cases of natural disasters.

  • Kei_JPtutor

    @Annabel What level was the intensity? Please be careful aftershocks 😣💦

  • Mana

    @Annabel I’ll be fine as I had a cup of coffee. It gives me strength!💪

  • Hiroko

    Are you safe? I'm worried about you.

  • Hitoshi Lifetime VIP

    Oh it’s too bad. Something fell off the shelf and broke? Everything is OK?😓

  • Annabel

    @Mana Oh no. I'm sorry. I'm glad everything was okay, but I know it is frustrating to be tired.

  • Mana

    I felt earthquake in the middle of last night. I was awake and see if I need to take some actions, but nothing bad happened. I feel dull due to less sleeping hours tho.

  • Annabel

    @miyo Yes! Thank you! Thankfully it was just a little mild shaking where I live. 😊

  • Annabel

    @Kenji That is a good idea. It's always good to be cautious. And, yes, North Carolina frequently gets hurricanes. I live inland, so I usually don't get storms that are very strong, thankfully!

  • Annabel

    @Maki Yes, I felt many earthquakes when I lived it Japan. One was strong enough that it cracked my sliding glass door. 😳

  • Annabel

    @Mayumi Yes! Thank you!😊

  • miyo

    I’m glad you are safe. Are your pets safe too?

  • Kenji

    I'm always careful because once I get used to earthquakes, evacuation will be delayed evacuation. North Carolina seems to have a lot of hurricanes, doesn't it? Please pay close attention to natural disasters.

  • Maki

    大丈夫そうでよかった。 日本で地震を体験したの？ I'm glad you seem ok. Have you ever felt it in Japan?

  • Mayumi

    無事で良かった🙂

  • Annabel

    @さつき Satsuki Thank you! 😊

  • Annabel

    @Mits 😊Thank you!

  • さつき Satsuki

    You must be surprised.I hope everyone are ok in your city.

  • Mits

    @Annabel Good to hear that.The earthquake might come several times after strong earthquake.I hope you stay safe.

  • Annabel

    @Mits Yes, thankfully it was mild where I live. I live a distance from the epicenter. It was just surprised to feel my house shaking while I drank my morning coffee. 😳

  • Annabel

    @Kei Yes! Thank you it was very mild in my city, thankfully. It was just surprising.

  • Mits

    Are you okay?

  • Kei

    Are you safe?
