Hi everyone, we are okay! I got so many messages asking and in Tokyo - we experiences a strong shake but nothing like the residents up in Miyagi or Fukushima. There's still a tsunami warning. The situation is still being assessed, hard to do at night between midnight and 1am. Thank you for thinking of us. Kanae and Leo and fine - Kanae is trying to get back to sleep. I can't just yet.
Please take care - these moments when you feel helpless make you think about life and how precious it is - tell someone you love how much you love them today.
Pray save
God bless stay safe 🌸
Stay safe out there man. I’ve got family in Tokyo as well. Couldn’t sleep since I heard the news, also that the power’s out as well. Hope you guys get some rest esp the baby 🙏🏼
You did jinx it. All joking aside, glad your all safe.
I can’t sleep, i feeling that it will come again😰😰😰😰
Japan is a great country, culture, and people. Unfortunately, its geological situation is on the Pacific Ring of Fire. Science is still far from being able to predict when, where, and how strong an earthquake would be. Hopefully everything is okay. Keep safe!
Dutchsince literally called this a week ago. Go check his latest video. He does gives a warning of when and where to look for an earthquake and his predictions are true. An earthquake may not be exactly where he predicts but it'll be with a few hundred kilometers. Honestly, Dutchsince is your best source for earthquake info. If you live in earthquake prone areas, it's worth giving him a view.
I life in California and know exactly what you are talking about with your heart racing with your adrenaline flowing. I know that rumbling sound you get before you actually feel the earthquake. Glad everything is okay for you.
No body can give exact time of disaster. not machines not predictions
Tomorrow will work
Well its call the pacific ring of fire and it kinda makes a big ring (hence the name) around all coastal areas of the ocean. Japan just has far more earthquakes due to it sitting on many local fault lines but that actually makes them far more prepared for the ring of fire big ones than most other major coastal areas. If a M9.2 hit the western coast of north america it would be a total disaster the earthquake early warning system is not done yet and won't be nearly as integrated as japan's due to the multiple states/countries that need to be involved to get a large enough network of sensors to give enough warning of the big one. TVs in japan will automatically turn on, radio's will turn on and retune automatically, trains/elevators/PA systems/factories all react to the early warning automated messages giving people seconds to minutes to react before the earthquake actually hits which can save many lives.
Thanks for letting us know that you and your family are safe. We’re thinking of you.
I have never experienced an earthquake in my life. I get anxious just watching this. Hope everyone is fine! I hope everything is okay 🍀
Glad you and your family are safe. Prayers to the people of Japan.
Glad to hear you and the family are safe!
Yea, I hate the "wake and shake" when it hits at night. Here in Tsuchiura was a good rumble, there was two and the second was the bigger and more up and down. We live in a one story house, so close to ground and we could feel the waves.
I was in my first earth tremor in Okinawa in 2017. We were staying in the top floor, which is 5 in Japan. Only lasted a second or two.
The other time I was in kyoto in August 2018. I was woken up at 5.10 am by what I thought was a truck close by to where I was staying, only to find out later it was an earthquake.
Glad to hear you are all ok stay safely
I grew up in L.A. area, and we had the 1994 Northridge quake which was a 6.9 or 7.0, it was terrifying and the aftershocks over 5.0. Look and listen to your pets, dogs, cats, birds as they have the ability to hear subsounds below the ability of humans to hear, and they react! Birds flying wildly, dogs barking, and cats scurrying about the house. They are your best early warning "system"--.
Thank you for your informative video. Much Love to you & your family❤️
Glad you and the family are well.
Glad you and your family are okay!
Stay safe! In Norway we don't get earthquakes, but I have been to the Canary Islands in Spain, which get many
Praying for everyone in Japan! Please stay safe!
Keeping y'all I prayer. Peace! 🙏🙏🙏
Stay safe and prayers for everyone’s safety. ❤️from Oklahoma
I know right now isn’t time for jokes, but the fact that the first thing you thought of was to video it is so funny 😂
In my defense, I was editing video when it happened, that’s my editing desk! Hahaha, had to do it.
Stay safe John🙏🏽
Ibaraki, lights turned off for 1 hour, no big damage to the house and family too
Just finding out about the earthquake. Glad you guys are okay. You just reminded me that I live right next, well pretty much on top of the San Jacinto Fault Line in California. We just have to be prepared for natural disasters here. Plan for the worst and hope for the best.
Prayers for you all 🙏
Praying for you.
this reminds me of my apartment when the metro passes beside the building : ) hope everyone there be safe
Glad the family is ok, stay safe!
Good thing you are ok.
Glad you are okay. Scary stuff. 👍
My eyes welled up when you said Kanae jumped on top of Leo through the baby monitor. . .
stay safe guys
So Happy to hear John at your house everyone is safe.John have you heard from Eric or Paul are they all Safe.Because there are so many Utubers making videos in Japan.I follow so many of you.I hope all Utubers and everyone in Japan are Safe.
Volcanic cause?
The iPhone screwed up the video, it has a good stabilization! I didn't notice the video shaking and it's a shame 🤣 KIDDING ASIDE, hope you're safe man
that 'movement' before the shake was the P wave hitting you (the Primary wave) of the earthquake. What shakes you and scares the crap out of everyone and causes the most damage is actually the S wave (the Secondary wave). Glad you're safe!!
I guess surface waves are null and void, then (P, S, Surface). Curse you, public school!
Its the P wave that also gives everyone early warning thanks to the speed of light being far faster fiber optic sensors can pick up the P-waves far out in the ocean fast and the further away the more warning you get before the secondary wave hits. In Japan its used to cause the trains to emergency stop (probably why the bullet train that derailed wasn't a disaster as they were likely already stopping as hard as possible before they derailed) factories to safe, etc...
Thank you Lord because you and your family and crew
I am Japanese.
In this earthquake, about 1 minute after one earthquake with a seismic intensity of 5, there was another earthquake with a seismic intensity of over 6. Therefore, people had the illusion that there was one long earthquake.
In addition, since this sentence was generated by Google Translate, there may be some parts that are difficult to convey.
Praying for you.
10 years apart. The events are so memorable that you remember it. Glad you and your family are OK.
12 years, nearly to the day. Still remember the news going all day about that. We were assigned to cover it for a science project years later (how cruel can public school be)
@@S.K.R.E.Inc. It’s 11 years. The big one was March 2011.
Oh man I was there in 2011 for the big one. It was very scary and even more tragic to witness so much suffering. God bless Japan.
皆んなお大事に！🙏
I was little in 2011
Omfg, I'm so glad you and your family are okay. T.T When I heard about this on the news, I panicked and had to jump on here to see how you're all doing. Stay safe! T.T
Same!!!!! I was so worried!!!!
Glad to hear that your family is okay! God Bless
I am glad you, Kanae and Leo are OK. Do be prepared, stay calm and take all the necessary precautions to leave the building and stay safe. I am following the events, as many other friends. Take care.
Yeah, earthquakes can be a scary thing. We don’t get it too often here in Guam, but I actually have heard it before and experience nearly 30 years ago. I was a lot younger, around 5, almost 6 years old. This time, I have heard that rumbling nearly few days. Also, it can happen unexpectedly.
But yeah, just as long you guys are safe. ❤️
Thank you for the update, John. I’m glad you’re all safe. Please take care🙏🏻
Glad to see that you (and the fam) are okay, John. Stay safe, bud. From the earthquakes that I've experienced? That one looks like it lasted longer than the ones I'm used to.
Happy to know that the tsunami warning ⚠️ has been rescinded.
I'm glad you're ok. Hug the family for us, and we'll be praying for peace. We ❤️ you guys, please take care, the after shocks will be coming unfortunately.
Hi John long time fan of "Only in Japan" I'm glad to see that you and your family are ok from that earthquake despite the earthquakes I still think Japan is an awesome country to live in, anyway stay safe John and God bless! 💖💖💖💖
Yeah we felt it in Osaka. I live 14 floors up and thought I felt something and it just kept moving. Can't sleep now. I just saw that Chris Abroad is in the area. It is so crazy that we are so close the day of the big earthquake there. Glad to hear you all are okay.
Holy crap. Osaka.
I can't imagine a
7.1 I have only experienced 2 very small ones.I was in bed and I felt the bed move and heard the wood frame scrape against the floor,but other people in the area did not even know that it happened
Wow - over 500km away from Tokyo and 900 from the epicenter! Yes - it's frightening. I was talking about it today in my live stream this afternoon too! Just hadn't had one in a while.
@@Mslc727 Yup very scary
I'm so glad you and the family are safe and ok. Earthquakes are so scary! You can run and find shelter from tornados or hurricanes but earthquakes are right under you and there's no where to go. That's frightening.
Hopefully the aftershocks won't be too bad. Take care John and stay safe.🤗❤
Living in Southern California, I've had my experiences with large earthquakes. The scariest earthquake was the Landers Earthquake on June 28, 1992 at about 5 am. I live about 40 miles (60 km) away from the epicenter. That earthquake shook hard for at least 90 seconds and was 7.4 on the Richter Scale. There was a small earthquake that measured 3.1 on the Richter Scale a few days ago that was centered about 15 minutes from my house. But like you said John, earthquakes are scary and you feel totally helpless and powerless when they hit.
Yup. I lived through Ridgecrest on July 5, 2019 (8:19 PM, 7.1) and IMMEDIATELY thought it was the Big One due to its proximity with the San Andreas. Turns out it wasn't. What shocked me though, was the numerous people that were woefully unprepared, and the hidden shock I felt that if it hit at the same time a day EARLIER, distaster would strike in the form of city-destroying fires due to the fireworks being launched. It would have been San Francisco 1906 in SoCal. Thankfully it wasn't. On a side note, my dad lived through Northridge in 1994 (6.7), when it hit DAYS after he moved to LA. He nearly got crushed by the ceiling while in bed. He went to Orange County after that, and he still got scared by the shockers that were in Chino Hills and La Habra
I felt the earthquake in Yokosuka too. I was also here for the big one in 2011. The power went out at my house in 2011. No power outage this time. Tsunami warning issued. I pray everyone stays safe🙏.
It wasn't as big as 2011 but still - makes your heart race every time we hit Shindo 4. Glad you're safe.
I'm glad you're all ok. Since i found this channel i almost feel like i know you. Best wishes for you and your family.
It has been a little over 16 years (March 15, 2006) since I joined ‘You Tube’ and it was launched February 14, 2005, the prior year… so it has been around 17.1 years: I have seen it grow by leaps and bounds. As for this earthquake… “I am very relieved you and your family are safe.” Too many sad memories of the other one, which happened 11 years and 7 days ago, only to have this one follow just a few days after the anniversary of the last one; so close to the same area. I lost too many good friends in that one and I still grieve over their loss still today. It is a great reminder to all of us that Mother Nature will always win in the end and remind us about our mortality. Stay safe and many blessings to you.
Aloha from Hawaii. Keeping you all in prayer, thank you for sharing because American news doesn't show the reality of it.🍍🌴🌺💖
Here in Northridge California in the 94 earthquake we felt and heard the rumble before it really started shaking... scariest thing I have ever been through...
I got a dizzy and headache from all the shaking last night. I thought it was going to be the big one. Internet stopped working for a bit so thankfully cell service was working.
Hi..John Greeting from Spore..heard about the earthquake..glad you okay..
Thank you John, my warmest regards to you, Kanae and baby Leo
Dont worry John. If i was in an earthquake as well. Id be recording it too. And then sell it to the news stations 😅😂
I'm glad you and your fam are okay, John!
another March earthquake. Hope everyone is ok. Got the notification from nhk app
Oh my! Thanks for letting us know that you are all safe John. 🙏
Thank you for letting us know you are ok! Take care! Stay safe! Love from Austria
Maybe it was eren yeagers rumbling........as rumbling has started
Just found out about this. Glad to hear everyone and everything in the Tokyo area is okay. Hopefully Tohoku is also faring well. Take care and good night/good morning.
I was in the forest of the mountains in Southern California where there was a large earthquake. It was in the middle of the night and there was a sound of a train coming through the camp. There were no buildings to make that noise nor trains in that mountain resort area. You are right there is a distinct earthquake noise. I’m so glad you are all safe. May the Lord bless and keep you and your family and the people of Japan safe.
I don’t blame you for reaching for your camera when this happened. If you live in a place where earthquakes are prevalent (I grew up and live in the San Francisco Bay Area), you tend to be less reactive from a safety standpoint than we’re taught to be.
Kanae, being a mother, had a more instinctual reaction, so she had you covered… and had Leo covered, quite instinctually! So you worked well as a team!
There are so many videos and stories about dogs and cats making a run for it, 10 to 30 seconds prior to a quake coming, so your “sense” of an earthquake coming is probably very real… I’m also curious, you said you mentioned wondering if a quake was coming, in your livestream… was it “earthquake weather” (warm and still)? That’s what we always notice here in California.
Back in the quake of 1989, I was in my car stuck at a dead stop in traffic, and about 30 seconds before the quake hit, the radio station stopped broadcasting… just shows you how quakes travel, it took out the station broadcast wherever it was, closer to San Francisco, before we felt the quake.
Chris Broad also posted a quick video from Sendai. He was freaked out! But closer to the epicenter, so it makes sense.
You may as well stay up all night editing. There will probably be aftershocks, so you won’t get restful sleep anyway!
Take care!
Here in Greece we had two big ones in March 3-4 2021. The first one was at 6.9 and the next day we had one at 6.2. The first one lasted for about 1 minute, and it happened just about 15km out of my town. I really know how it is. Greece is the most seismic country in Europe and Japan is the most seismic in the world. Please take care and stay safe, you John, Kanae and Leo.🥺🥺🥺
I'm glad you're alright man and your family
I’m in a quarantine hotel and this happened😢
I was in an earthquake once yeah there are no fun and I was sitting on the toilet when it hit
Glad to see you're okay! Hope the Daily Mail asked for permission to use your footage.
Earthquake, Japan. ଘ🤯ଓ
I just heard about the earthquake a short while ago on the news, glad that you, Kanae and Leo are safe, thoughts and prayers be with you and family, everyone over there be safe, the news also reported about a tsunami.
Take care and be careful stay safe !! 👍
Judging from the number of outlets that used your footage uncredited....I think you should put a logo up on the wall in case it happens again.
I felt shaking in Tochigi.
There was a power outage, but it's okay. I was scared ...
hope all fine and safe AMEN
Thank god u guys were ok. But isn’t it Buildings in Japan are earthquake proof?
No comparison but I was on a second floor office building in Ohio when we had an earthquake 3 or 4 magnitude and the floor was rolling like you’re on a boat going over waves. Ours caused by fracking. I actually first thought I was getting sick till I realized. Please stay safe and thank you for the information. ❤️✌🏼
I live in costa rica, and earthquakes scare the crap out of me!!!! Glad you are okay!!!
You can hear it arrive in the Country! It sounded to me in California like a UPS truck with a grumble and dry brakes. The trees move and the mountain in the distance seem to move also! The Solid concrete slab I was laying on was jelly form ! Its more than shaking!
WELL MY INITIAL REACTION WAS PRETY GOOD WHEN i LIVED IN jAPAN AND AN EARTHQUAKE HAPPEN I RUN FIVE FLY OF STAIR WITH OUT A SHIRT. I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT everone outside looked at me like I was crazy . next time go with your family your wife and kids
I was a little judgemental after hearing you had kids, but you know what? That's very unfair of me- you seem VERY uneasy... and I grew up in California and have gone through this plenty of times. So, I know what to do because of drills and experiences. Practice with you AND the little ones. Have drills WITH tsunami warnings too- aftershocks can be REAL bad also. I am very glad you are safe with the little ones. And just know, the next one will be easier for you! ❤️
It’s very impressive ! I’m so glad= You, Leo and Kanae San= are okay!
And we are thinking all your heart > for Japanese People !
Be strong +++! Anne Paris. Thursday 17th Mar h 2022
Remember me, hahahaha. John seriously, your first instinct was to hit record first? Go to the baby first dude! And congrats to you and Kanae on becoming parents, I didn't know until your video just now. Funny enough, my first search of "Tokyo Earthquake" on Google showed your video as the first video result.
Talk about waking up on the wrong side of the bed. I hope that earthquake is the last one for awhile. I would agree that experience, of going through an earthquake, is deeply unsettling.. And John, I do hope that awful feeling goes away soon. I am glad you and yours are all safe. Go cuddle up your wife and baby boy, it will help them and you. Love from Minnesota. Update: John, I just watched your upload “Kitchen Supply Shopping Street”. Who knew you would get that earthquake.
@ Only in Japan, John glad to see you are all ok after that earth quake. I'm watching your kitchen supply street vlog but I think you did jinx Japan when you mentioned about an earthquake. 😦😦
But maybe you have a secret ability to predict earthquakes.
We also had one recently in South Australia but it was only a little one in comparison, a 3.7 on March 5
Take care. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
For most, it just looks like stuff moving, but the video cannot capture the feeling of powerlessness that you feel when things are moving around you.
lol... are you SURE you didn't jinx it, the other day ?... just kidding. Used to live in So Cal.... went through four major ones..... and a gazillion tremors.... funny how you can get used to it.
I’m so glad you and your family are safe. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Earthquake. I was in the Earthquake at Candlestick stadium in San Francisco in the eighties and you do have a deer in the headlight daze for a bit. It was definitely an experience that is permanent in your memory. So glad everyone is safe.
John, you totally jinxed it in your last video… I hope you learn your lesson about mentioning the ‘E’ word ever again argh.. 🤦🏻♀️ Anyways we’re very glad you and your family are all okay. Please stay safe~~
Oh no... Are you ok John? How's everyone? Thank you for the update. Are you on elevated ground? Take care my friends. 😓 Sorry I was late in checking.
You will need a strong table to shield under. We in CA have helmets I got for us. I hope you guys get yours too, just in case. Flashlights under the bed and safety bags with food and meds in a storage by the room or exit.
So weird how ppl like my (and probably your) wife just shake it off, lol. I'm always terrified growing up around the New Madrid Fault in the southeast US....Itabashi here and it shook damn good.
If one hadn’t ever experienced ( myself) or did not imagine what it would be like to experience it, it looks like you were just watching everything shake. Yes, sound, but you were experiencing being jostled as much as your belongings. I can only imagine how you were/are upset. I have never experienced one, but there’s potential. What really scares me is the real possibility of liquefaction. Maybe by seeing your video, some of us might think more about what we can do/ be prepared. Like, I think it’s not a bad idea to keep your phone and a little flashlight. God bless you and I am glad you all are ok.
Glad everyone is fine, (thank God.). We live in earthquake country. (San Francisco Bay Area) So we get earthquake often, you will never get used to it, but it does happens all to often, you just have react to it and making sure everyone is safe and okay. Suggest, make a emergency food box and have lots and lots of bottles water on hand. (beer is “NOT” an option). Also have an first aid kit, flashlight, and what else you think you will be needing for one week, and don’t forget about the outdoor tent, put it in a safe area that you can get too right away. Take Care and Be safe, glad everyone is safe.🙏
Hello John, I'm very happy you and your family are safe! First time I experienced an earthquake in Japan, I thought maybe something was wrong with my drink, because no one around me seemed to react to it. 2nd time was freakier, as I was on the 5th floor of my apartment building. Definitely a moment of panic. I also wanted to say that your videos are wonderful! I've been showing them to residents at an elderly care facility for our monthly Japanese culture programming and they love you and your content! Please keep on keeping on! Much love to you and your family!
I know how you feel (I'm in California) and it's nerve wracking. Please be safe out there!
p.s. Heads up-- After watching your video, it seems another channel is using your clip in their own video.
hope you are fine
Glad you are all safe. In Adelaide we had a magnitude 3.8 earthquake at 7.20am on 6 March. It woke me up but I didn’t know what the sound was…I thought a bird had flown into the window. Earthquakes are such strange things. I hope there are not too many aftershocks there.
Crazy how you can fill like something going happen I watch the video when you said about earthquakes glade the family is ok Leo first quake. I don’t like them I am in San Francisco California 😎
Wow I remember I was in Kindergarten when the Japan earthquake happened in 2011. My kindergarten teacher told us about the earthquake when it happened. She told us about it because some kids in the class are Japanese and also because we live in Los Angeles so earthquakes are very common for us here as well. I remember when a few years ago California had some earthquakes and I totally get you I felt like I was going to pass out because there is literally nothing you can do. Now I’m in the 11th grade it’s all so crazy I hope Japan stays strong you guys are a great country and I wish nothing but the best for everyone in Japan
