More information on the earthquake in Kyushu yesterday

More information can be found at The Japan Times Online. Although my apartment shook for over 30 seconds, there was no real damage here. Fukuoka Prefecture is about 400 kilometers away.

They just showed some amazing footage on the news, of an office building losing about 180 windows as the quake hit. (This building was otherwise unaffected. It's an older building, and the window glass was held in with a solid caulk instead of the more flexible rubberized material they use now.)

In the video, you can see the quake starting, and after about five seconds, all the windows of this building start to fall. The six or seven people on the sidewalk below run for cover as best they can. Miraculously, no one was injured there. (So far, only one person has died from quake-related injuries.)
