There was an earthquake here off the coast of Japan...it was a 5.3 in the center. Here in Okinawa it was reported about a 3-4 pointer. only shook for about 10 seconds. was only my 3rd earthquake..nothing bad though.

If you're living in Japan you will end up getting used to earhquakes, at least to the minor to moderate ones because it's hard to get used to big ones. It's like living here in a Centralamerican country, in El Salvador we have 2 or 3 sensible earthquakes per month.
