earthquake
I hope those who are living near Tokyo are OK. It looks like the quake hit Kanto areas harder than my area. Phew... it was a big and long earthquake. It is still continuously shaking a little here in Akita. We didn't have any damages in my house, but we had no light and no heating over a night. Oh, we couldn't use our cellphone either. Our electric power comes from our closest heat power plant, so they resumed the work a few hours ago after an inspection. (That's why I am writing now.) But the other areas, especially those places that were hit hard, have atomic power plants, so they have no electricity and no water.

Hello, Bobby and everyone.
I have been worrying since watching the news on "the earthquake". It was the most horrible one, which reminds me the Kobe’s in 1995 which I experienced. I am so glad to know that Bobby was all right and has his own “closest heat power plant”to manage his electricity. Bobby, you are great. I had to spend some months without gas, electricity and water at
that time of the Kobe's.
I hope other members in Kanto and Tohoku are all fine. I broke my heart watching the news.
Take care, everyone.

Hello, everyone.
Thanks for your heartwarming comments, Bobby and Miwako.
The earthquake was terrible. Even in Chiba, that was big(M6). I escaped from the 4th floor then. I was so scared. Anyway, I'm ok.
I hope our friends living in Tohoku and Kanto are fine.
Take care.

Hello, Yuki, Bobby and everyone. I am so glad to know Yuki's ok. Take it easy. Think positively.
Now I worry about the nukes. Some foreigners are leaving Japan even from the Kansai area.
