Well, just like last month we had a little "shake, rattle, and roll" this morning as more earthquakes hit the Fukuoka area.  The first, which hit at 6:11AM was strong enough (6.8 magnitude)to get me out of bed, but it was over quickly.  A lighter aftershock hit 11 minutes later, then another - just as strong as the first - shook at around 7:20.

So much for the well-publicized theory that there is little to no risk of an earthquake striking Sasebo.  But I'm happy that we're getting a series of small shakers, instead the "big one" that Japan has been expecting.
