9.0 quake hits off the coast of northeast Japan during the middle of language class. The Japanese earthquake system, known as the Shindo scale, has 7 levels with 7 being the highest. Our school was hit with Shindo 5 levels, where as the worst areas north of us hit the max of 7. The first few seconds is just a quick clip as the first and strongest quake starts to hit. After that it cuts to us on the floor again as some of the after shock quakes start rolling through.
