I guess I'm lucky. The last earthquake I felt was back in 2011 in New York when we still lived there. Before that, the last one was a 2008(?) earthquake south of Hachinohe in Japan.

Since 2011? None.

Although, I was kind of anxious when it happened, but, I trust Japanese engineering when it comes to earthquake-proofing their structures.

the picture is still in my mind. several years ago. even the japs admit. "they must re-think their methods."
the japanese elevated road, fallen like dominoes after an earthquake.

and the speed by which the japanese re-build.

That was the Great Hanshin Earthquake 1994. It was due to a corruption scandal where the contactor used thinner and fewer steel bars in order to turn a profit after paying bribes to politicians (sound familiar?). I remember after that earthquake, the flyovers in Edsa and Commonwealth were retrofitted as well. I guess they used the same Japanese consultant as those in Kobe to build and design our flyovers?
