I was in a building about 15 minutes walking from our house, so very close. I was there doing an event where print artists came to show and deliver their work. I was on the 38th floor and definitely felt every bit of the quake. At first it started out slow, so we all thought it was a small one, which we are use to, but then it started getting bad. For about 5 minutes there was constant swaying of the building and shaking. Then for about 30 minutes afterward there was constant motion, which I became quite sick of. As I type, we are still feeling aftershocks, which makes us feel as if we are still moving.
The following pictures are from the apartment I was in when it happened and from the balcony....crazy
immediately after the earthquake stopped, this is how much it moved the picture
right after the quake, a building on fire across the bay
same building an hour later
Refinery in Chiba that caught on fire
same building sparking again about 4:30ish
Same refinery, blaze sparked up again around 5:30ish
