Nah, it was at 1am. We DO have a cheering thing with the Fighters called the "Inaba Jump" where everyone jumps up and down and sings for about 30 seconds before Atsunori Inaba's at-bats if someone's on base -- and it has SUCH a violent effect on the outfield seating area at the Sapporo Dome, half of which is temporary baseball-only seating, that the centerfield cameramen have been known to lose their grips on the camera and other such things during it (last year's Japan Series even had a moment of "Where'd the CF camera go?" "Uhh, his power got knocked out by the Inaba Jump.")
But uh... this series of earthquakes was actually TERRIFYING for me for a bit, as I might have mentioned, because there were like 5 of them within a span of around 45 minutes, all in the 5.1-6.8 range, so my building never really STOPPED shaking.
