I work in a school in Kanagawa that's 60+ years old. I thought the floor was going to give way for sure. Very scary.

The videos of those huge ships being washed ashore in Aomori are crazy. It looks like parts of Sendai and Chiba are on fire.

is it just me or does that look strikingly like the shape of a hurricane in the live stream?
I'm trying to call my host family in Sendai but the phone line is 'busy'... either phone lines are cut or they are calling their relatives... im not sure

Wow...all the flooded towns on TV look pretty crazy. No one felt a thing in Hiroshima.
Apparantly tokyo has been long overdue for a big quake though.

先ず、Christchurchでたくさんの日本人の学生がお亡くなりになりまして、今、仙台にはとても強く地震と津波があります。これを聞くを悲しんでいます。仙台の日本人、気を付けて下さい。

It's kind of surreal hearing about how bad it is up north, when it was so tame here in Aichi.
Earthquake in Japan March 11th 2011 - Nagareboshi - 2011-03-11
Terrible what's happening there ... saw it on NHK world when i got up. I hope you guys over there stay safe. What's worse the news came a fire broke out in a nuclear plant -

I hope nothing bad is coming out of it - the least Japan, or that particular region could need now, is another catastrophe.

Just got the news now. Everyone I know is safe. There was one guy that I was really worried about, but he's apparently ok.
I'm glad the aftershocks are over now. Some of them were pretty scary. I guess I am so thankful that I was sick today. I could have been on the train/bus or at work.
I hope everyone you all know is ok too. There's quite a few, it seems, that have friends and family in trouble areas and I, really, hope things turn out well!

Guys, I hope you'll be feeling okay during the aftermath if your city was affected. I think the disruption to the system and sense of vulnerability can be more unsettling than people might expect. Take care of yourselves.

had a little earthquake here on the big island, but not as bad as Japan.
Please take care

I studied in Sendai last year (hence the username) and have a lot of friends both Japanese and non-Japanese there. I can't seem to get much information on what is happening there, but the images on TV of Miyagi-ken being swamped by the tsunami are just terrifying. I flew in and out of Japan via Sendai Airport and seeing it surrounded with water is just mindblowing. All I can do is hope that my friends in Sendai have kept themselves safe throughout this whole thing until I can get in touch with them somehow.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected, Miyagi and Fukushima are looking pretty bad.

Quake hit while I was in class and I happened to be screwing around with my phone at the time so I got some video. The vid only has a few seconds of the first and largest quake as we dive to the ground, and then cuts to us on the ground again as the aftershocks started rolling through. Of course they are STILL basically rolling through on a continuous basis as I type this.

Seems like there is something bad going on in Fukushima nuclear power plant - the IAEA said the authorities have set the alarm status higher and the region is being evacuated. I really hope that there is no fallout on the way ... scary news!

There was noticeable activity "near/off the east coast of Japan" in late February and a lot in the recent days so I was a bit shocked and sad seeing this happen this morning.
