I went to the Kumamoto Earthquake Museum today. One of the faults that ruptured in the 2016 earthquake went through the middle of the administration building of Tokai University, and they have preserved both. Luckily, the earthquake happened in the middle of the night so no one was there. #Earthquake #Japan

Two years after the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake and tsunami, local potters have banded together in the few rebuilt kilns to keep their craft alive. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2026/01/01/style-design/suzuyaki-noto/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #styledesign #noto #earthquake #traditionalcraft #exhibition

Honest question. What's it like being in an earthquake?
Also, how do cats usually react to them?
We don't get many big earthquakes in South Australia.
But we do get them on the account of fault lines.
Three times I've felt "the big one" (by our weak standard).
Once it felt like a super large tractor trailer truck drove past the house (one did not)
Second time, it felt like a large diesel engine locomotive vibration coming from the house (the person inside thought it was outside)
The third time, I felt my computer chair and the floor move in a wave pattern and I initially thought it was a mental illusion, but other folks confirmed #earthquake.
You may actually experience smaller earthquakes all the time, but mis-attribute them.
In the hours following the recent earthquake off the north-eastern coast of Japan, Google's #AI "displayed outdated information and wrong answers, including the wrong magnitude of the earthquake."
"False information must not be displayed -- even once -- in the field of disaster response, where lives are at stake"
Here’s Japan’s ~M7.6 earthquake signal from my home seismometer #Earthquake #RaspberryShake
Holy shit this is so cool!!!
This is an animation of the seismic stations across the country being affected by the 7.0 #earthquake in Alaska on Dec 6, 2025.
The dots are red when the ground beneath the station goes up and they are blue when the ground goes down.
Mind you, these are teeny, tiny movements recorded by very sensitive monitoring devices. Nothing even close to being felt. So please don't freak out.
