CATS, DOGS, ELEPHANTS & HIPPOS

O-kay. So about 5 hours after the earthquake, after even more rain and thunder, we have yet ANOTHER earthquake. I believe the second was stronger than the first, which registered as a 4.0 on the Japanese scale (moderate) and lasted about 30 seconds. The second one felt much wavier and lasted at least 20 seconds, it seemed. This time, I got up and stood in the doorway and watched our teacups and electric rice cooker wobble and come this close to tiping over. I'd never experienced earthquakes like these before today.

But, man. 2 big earthquakes in one day...Is this a sign?
