Hi everyone,
Japan is suffering major crises at the moment. For anyone who wants to know what is happening I recommend checking this site:

I hope you stay safe. We are concerned about the current aftermath. The nuclear plant is so scary.

Where are you Kohaku?
I�m in Saitama & it�s very quiet here... apart from the news, occasional aftershocks & military flights overhead you�d never know there was a disaster happening...
My heart goes out to all the families affected & thanks to all those providing aid & support.
If you �re in Japan you can donate at Mizuho Bank. I�ll look soon & add some organisations for international donations.
regards, AB
Minamisanriku sounds like the saddest place... 10,000 people reported missing out of a 17,500 population. Hopefully the number is only so high because all records have been destroyed by the tsunami & difficulty in reaching evacuation centres, even by helicopter...

I hear there is a 70% chance of another magnitude 7 quake in the next 3 days.

could well be another one... it �s like there �S a chain reaction within the plates & they all have to settle back into some sort of balance...

Kohaku and alien boy, the whole world shares the grief and anxiety of the Japanese people.
My heart goes out to the people suffering. I �m praying there will be no more disasters.
Thanks for the links, alien boy!

I �m in Fukushima just below Sendai and we feel after shocks every 2/3 hours.
@Kohaku, you are correct about that. We can do nothing about that other than waiting till it �s over and hope that there �s not so much dammage. Mother nature does what she wants.... |
