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.
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.
Probably wise to back off the coverage.
Oh sure, because we're not the pot and kettle tonight.
Holy shit. Tsunamis are freaky scary.
I'm glad I've already heard from my friend in Kobe, thankfully. They haven't been affected around there. The earlier Kobe quake was right after he moved there. Yikes.
Yeah, out houseguests the other weekend were here to pick up a passport for grandma at the Japanese consulate in Atlanta. I think they were scheduled to fly to Japan yesterday, but I'm not positive, and I don't know where they were going first. They were planning to stay a month.
