Just had a big earthquake off the coast of Japan. The house was shaking quite a bit. Now we are under a Tsunami Watch.
Oh the joy of living in Japan!!!

Hope all is well with you and your family!

OMG - they had one when I was there. I was in the China shop out the North Gate. My first time there. My daughter yelled to me - run to a doorway. It was scary - all the china and plates and stuff were rattling. But it passed.

They lived in the towers to the left as you went in the gate off of "pole" street. One day the tower started swaying. Again she yelled to go to a doorway. WOW what an experience. It was no big deal to her kids.

I survived (of course I did) but you never get used to it when you're a visitor. It is really scary.

SO glad you're safe.

Painiacs 03-08-2011 11:13 PM

Sending prayers your way.
Against Nature's Powers, we do feel helpless.

phatquilts2 03-09-2011 07:07 AM

We are thinking of you & your family to remain safe.

From years ago, we remember California & the aftershocks. At the time, the earthquake was not comparable to your measured magnitudes.

barbsmith 03-09-2011 07:21 AM

cowpie2 03-09-2011 07:24 AM

omgosh~~~I left LA 12 yrs ago after that last batch of them that brought down the freeway overpasses in the valley. I used those every week to go to the Bay Area and could not deal with it anymore. Terrifies me horribly.

Leota 03-09-2011 07:53 AM

Stay safe and go as far inland as you can. Praying for your safety

I wonder 03-09-2011 07:55 AM

Please stay safe!

milp04 03-09-2011 07:59 AM

Oh my! Sending prayers that you and your family remain safe. Hopefully the island shakes will cease. ((Hugs))

Had two more this morning, one was a 6.6 at 6:30. Nothing like getting a wake up call by an earthquake.
But again, we are okay, nothing broke. Hope it will quiet down now.

kbs 03-09-2011 04:10 PM

Please be safe.

susie0808 03-09-2011 07:21 PM

Just heard there was another earthquake in Japan. Are you okay? The tsunami from it hit Hawaii a few hrs ago; now there's a tsunami warning for the entire west coast of U.S. Really hope you are okay!!!
