Was on the 6th floor. Wild ride. Started small and just got steadily stronger. Never seen people so scared. Some just dropped to the floor not knowing what to do. Went down the stairwell in record time in the midst of snapping sounds and screeching metal and bits of plaster and whatnot falling on my head. 2 inch wide cracks in the foundation of the building I was in, but fortunately it didn't fall down. Just happy to be back home, even though I found all my possessions thrown all over the floor.

holy shit buddy. Glad you are ok. I just got word that my brother that was near Tokyo area (I think) is safe and sound. I was watching the live feed on the news last night. Incredible and very scary.
Nature is a powerful thing...it can make us its bitch anytime.
