I just read on CNN that there was 7.0 magnitude earthquake right near Okinawa.

IIRC, some of you all are stationed over there.

Is everyone okay?

Woke up at 530 this morning...woke up thinking somebodys driving a fucking buldozer or a tank outside. In my head I was thinking I'm deployed again.

Snapped out of it when my wife started asking if we should run outside. I said no, doesnt feel that strong but it went on for a good minute and half. Felt just like I said, like a buldozer is driving by outside vibration wise but without the noise.

But yah everythings good out here, Japan pretty much raised up the building codes after the big Kobe Quake. Some minor damage but nothing major. Nobody got hurt or anything from we've seen so far from the local news. We had a 1m tsunami but thats about it.

Looks like this Tsunami from Chile might affect us more...they are predicting 6-9ft in about 4 hrs. Oh wells, Im high enough and on the other side of the island.
