Yesterday at 8:45am, there was large earthquake in Northern Tokyo. I would like everyone to know my wife's family are fine and didn't suffer any losses.
My friend's family who lives in Iwate Prefecture suffered the loss of three rice bowls.
Unfortunatley, at this present time, the quake has taken the lives of three people and more than a dozen people are still missing.
The quake may not have been as big as the one in Sichuan Province in China, but it's still a scary thing. One mustn't take Mother Nature for granted.
Mikako and I are fine as well. Although Tokyo felt a quake in the morning, the city suffered no damage or losses. Mikako was walking on her way to work and wasn't even aware that there was an earthquake. I was on the 7th floor of a building so you bet I felt it alright.
On a seperate note:
More update on the random stabbing spree. It's now known that the 25yr old suspect had been planning on doing this for weeks in advance. Not only did he plan it, he wrote about it every step of the way on a cell phone net site. From the time he rented a 2 ton truck, until he reached Akihabara. The content would make you sick to your stomach.

I'm so glad that you and Mikako are all right, as well as others whom you know and love. Earthquakes are the most terrifying things in the world for me, and everyplace I've ever lived, or wanted to live, except Bkk and NYC, has them on a regular basis.
I think even BKK could be subject to them, given the right circumstances--apparently a tremor in Chiang Mai was felt recently in the City of Angels built on alluvial jello.
