It was a good shake this morning, and I think I have a way to forecast an up coming large earthquake now.
So I got up 5:30 as always, I went to toilet and the first thing I notice was the water in toilet bowl were all gone! Then 5:59, the earthquake.
It is the 3rd times I see this.
The first time was back in 2011, the M9.0 quake. back then I remember I saw the water disappeared from toilet bowl a day in advance. I though it was strange. then the next day, it was this huge quake which last longer than 7 minutes in Tokyo. It was M 9.0 earthquakes then very soon it was another 8 something aftershock in Fukushim and the shock-wave merged somewhere north of Tokyo so people in Tokyo get to taste a 7+ minutes long shakes. in fact, it was terrible.
This morning was long too. Tsunami warning has been issued soon but nothing compare to what happen back in 2011. I hope it won't father more damage the meltdown Nuclear power plant in Fukushima.
