Also, because good news is important, I hope the end of your pregnancy and delivery is easy and joyous, Nilly. I am so happy you are about to be a parent.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Glad to hear from you Nilly. Will be keeping your baby's birth in my prayers.
What time are they giving you for time on target, Cass?

7 - 7:30 along the coast, from what I heard. I'm not in any danger because Portland, for all of our acting like a massively West Coast city, is inland. But the coast of Oregon certainly has all of their tsunami evacuation routes marked because it's a real danger for them.
There have been over 20 big aftershocks already. Wow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did the tsunami warning wake me up, or something? Seriously, my insomnia isn't usually that bad. I did go to bed before I learnt of the earthquake, so I will do some reading while I wait and see if the over the counter medication kicks in or not.
Sheeit. This is all horrifying.

NHK has the biggest quake listed as an 8.8 finally.
There is talk about how, because public transportation is stopped, there is massive traffic and people can't get home but, realistically, one or two people per car would be so much worse in terms of hysteria and gridlock, I think.
I need to back away from the coverage for a bit, I think. I can't do anything sitting her but fret.

I am sorry about the insomnia, ita. I hope you can get back to sleep soon.

Thanks, Cass.

Could very well have, ita. I think there are horns going off a lot all over the place.
Yeah, I saw on NHK that they upgraded it, so I think their numbers were just off to begin with, Cass. Probably wise to back off the coverage. I can't seem to.

Oh, you guys - as much as I miss posting with you, the one thing I wish for you at this hour of (your) night is a peaceful restful sleep.

Oh sure, because we're not the pot and kettle tonight.
