8.9 quake and tsunami hits Japan

[Ferris]

Seeing the force of nature on TV and the tremendous damage on life and property it caused, makes me, and figure painting, feel very small.
My best wishes to all affected in Japan.

Good to hear from Yoichi Kotaka, Mitustaka Fujiwara, Yoshihiro Kimura, fumiaki Shirai, Makoto Sakurazawa. thanks for checking in, please extend our best wishes to family and friends.....

Taesung, hope your friends are ok.

While the tsunami & earthquake were bad enough, it seems one of the nuclear power plants has had a coolant fault. listening to the news, they are pumping sea water into the plant to avoid melt down.

They are evacuating 45 000 people from a 10 km radius around the plant.

However, there is a great deal of support from the international community, I'm sure the Japanese will do their utmost to deal with the immediate after effects, and will rebuild.

All the Japanese people I have met over the years, while sometimes reserved, always strike me as having a great work ethic, and tremendous character.

Keeping you in my thoughts,

warmest

A cellular phone of the people who underwent influence of bombing at present is the situation for which it's difficult to connect.
I think it's also difficult to connect with Tokyo.
The electricity goes out at a disaster area, so I think I can't do a charge for a cellular phone.
All the members use a cellular phone, so to make sure of the family's existence it's difficult to connect.
I think future's problem.

A tidal wave also seems to come to America.
Is it OK?

Glad to hear that all planeteers are accounted for. Mitsutaka, thank you for asking, the tidal wave on the US has been very small, with some damage, I'm far from the coast so I'm not 100% sure of the damage, but it is far,far less than Japan had suffered.
