glad you guys are ok, sorry for folks who got hit, scary stuff. makes you think, doest it?! news says there is forecast that its gonna continue for about a month or so with up to 7 magnitude and possibilities of new tsunamis as well. sounds like the coast, transport and buildings are places you dont wanna be near even tho i hear Japanese build everything specifically to withstand those things as much as possible.

Terrible terrible news... they just found 300+ bodies floating in the water in Sendai where the Tsunami initially hit hard....

It's been a long day.... we're going to hit the sack soon but we've brought our shoes upstairs and our care and survival bags are fully packed!

Still getting scary tremors.... millions are still stranded from home.... still battling the fires in Ichihara here in Chiba.

It's 1am. Trying to sleep but it's hard with little tremors swaying the house every 10 minutes or so. Anything that lasts for more than a few seconds has me up and alert.

T and Stew thanks for getting me through the night here last night. You see, my wife called me at work to tell that an earthquake had just happened in Japan and that it was big. My first question to her was about our daughter who has been in Yokohama since December going to school and staying with her grandparents. Unfortunately she had no answer as the phones were down and she wasn't able to reach her by Skype or email. It was a long night at work as I watched the internet news scanning all info I could. I logged on to TSG and the info we all shared here helped me some because I knew that Yokohama while affected; wasn't in the main path. Thankfully my daughter is all right but it wasn't until almost near the end of my shift that I was able to find that out. I feel for all of you over there and hope you all are safe. Even now, my daughter is still up watching the news as the power just came on for them a couple of hours ago. I was able to see her on Skype this am and I can still hear her speaking with my wife.

Take care everyone and thanks again to Tario and Stew. You guys helped me quite a bit.

WOW!!!!! I live on Maui and went to bed early last night and missed the news. We are starting to feel the effects of the earthquake now here in the islands with some flooding but so far nothing near what you guys in Japan have and are experiencing. Stay safe Stew and Tario we're thinking about you and praying this is over!

Mornings pics are emerging. Really bad. We should have everyone in Japan that we know here on TSG to report in that they are safe. Gocchin - We haven't heard from you in 9 hours.

I'm up but tired!

Like Stew we sweated it through a night of tremors and shocks... another 6.6 earthquake actually hit inland in the middle of the night in Nagano, slightly north west of Tokyo.

We're also not sure what to do as we are actually low on groceries so we may have to venture out.

Still have our emergency bags packed and ready to go.

I've received over 50 emails from customers and members of TSG checking on my well being.

I did not expect that but am very appreciated at the amount of caring and concern.

Right now the main concerns are areas northern japan being wiped out, the toll of casualties rising and the nuclear plant in Fukushima getting very unstable...

The tremors continue this morning but they seem to have weakened with once in a while a more violent one.

Thanks again to everyone for caring.

Stew, did you try and call me? I see your number attemped my phone through the Docomo messaging center... lines are still up and down here in Japan and connecting is tough.

It might be best to stock on what you guys can if any stores are open. I saw coverage that some convenience stores & groceries are closed.

Hopefully, they will be able to remedy the situations at the plants very soon.
