Earthquakes in Tokyo

Recently, we often have earthquakes in Tokyo.
So far as I remember, on the last Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

It's been about 80 years since Tokyo had an enourmous inland earthquake last time. It was with the magnitude of 7.9 and made tremendous number of victims in those days.
Scientists say there is no wonder if it comes today, right now.

I live in southern part of Tokyo that's said to be the most dangerous area. In addition, I go to my office using subways every day. :(

In recent years in Tokyo, there are many newly built condos, and I'm wondering what the owner habitants will do if their brandnew condominiums collapse. :o)
