No compiling today...

I made sushi for the office today, and spoke with some colleges about the earthquake / tsunami in Japan. I hadn't heard about it till they told me, so it came as a bit of a shock. I found it interesting to hear how people view these kinds of disasters from Europe...where this kinda stuff never happens.

I don't really know what happened... haven't looked into it just yet, let me multi-task to find out what happened.

magnitude 8.7/8.8/9.0
tsunami...in Sendai.
Tokyo subways and highways have been closed down.

After three min of Google foo...this situation seems to be an apocalypse for japan.

The tsunami seems to to have done quite some damage, but Tokyo seems to be okay. Fear of the after shock is what is probably making people leave the city.

I still need to call my family there to make sure everything is okay.


---EDIT---

My relatives a associates are doing well, according to my dad, noone they know of has been affected by this disaster.

  1. Hi Andrew.

    TY for calling. We are all fine. Thank God!!!
    All our friends and acquaintances seem to be fine too. TG! We felt the quake all the way here in Nagoya. By the way Andrew, Micah&Merry in Shizuoka got evacuated twice, Arthur & Quincy & Co were quite shaken around (in Saitama), but are ok. Some friends are stuck in Tokyo, no transport, but are fine. Please pray for the poor people here, as it seems quite bad.

    Big hug and lots of Love,
    Dad
