Tokyo (CNN) -- He's lived in Japan for nine years and is no stranger to earthquakes. But Ryan McDonald said this one terrified him.
"Oh my God, the building's going to fall!" the English teacher shouted on a video he sent to CNN's iReport, as he filmed the scene outside his home in Fukushima on Friday during the worst earthquake to hit Japan in recorded history.
About 250 kilometers (155 miles) away in Ichihara, August Armbrister wrote that "night came quickly today" as an earthquake-sparked refinery fire there sent thick black smoke upward, blocking out the blue sky.
The aftershocks were the worst, Harrison Payton said.

"They feel like the entire world is a gigantic theme park ride, except much scarier and with no known end," he wrote to CNN on Friday in an iReport from his home in Yabuki-machi, also in Fukushima Prefecture -- only about 180 kilometers, or 110 miles, from the center of the devastating 8.9-magnitude earthquake.
Payton, like many others, grabbed his phone or video camera and starting recording when the shaking didn't stop after a few minutes.
Ned Kubica, from California, was at a Tokyo hotel when it began. He went outside.
"There was glass broken from doors and windows from the next building over," Kubica told CNN in an iReport. "Everyone was in the street looking up at the buildings."
An American student living in Osaka told CNN that the "ground rolled for about two to three minutes and felt like waves of water washing over the house" when the earthquake rumbled through.
Afterward, "there was a strange, eerie creaking sound that emitted from the house and doors that were swaying from side to side. Outside, some of the poles and fixtures attached to houses moved but no buildings or houses were damaged," Brian Doyle, the student, said in an iReport.
