norcal2 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 I went through a 7.5 when I was stationed in Misawa, northern Japan,Honshu years ago..it was a roller not a shaker, and when you looked down the run way you could see waves in the concrete..just like the ocean...Im used to shakers here in Ca....it was a bit un nerving...
