Yesterday afternoon when I was walking inside a subway station in Tokyo, there happened a huge earthquake. All the subways and Railways stopped and the big city Tokyo was paralyzed.
I had to walk back to my apartment and found many things fell down all over the floor, then my husband picked up our kids and came home. So we were all safe.
But it was not serious in Tokyo, compared to my home town Miyagi. I was so scared, since all my family members live in that area.
I have been trying to call my mother but all the lines are busy and still cannot know how they had spent the cold night without electricity and water. – Just once last night I could talk to her for 10 seconds. At least they are alive but the house seems to be horrible.. -
Today I have been watching TV and following the twitter time line to catch newest info, but not so much about my home town.
The impact of Tsunami is incredible. How can we imagine so huge Tsunami could have reached up to several kilometers from the coast within a few hours after the earthquake ?
In Sendai TV says 2 or 3 hundreds of dead bodies were found on the coast !! and
now more than 1000 people are missing.
I am still trying to contact my parents and praying for them.
I got so many emails from friends from all over the world. Thank you so much.
Its OK in Tokyo but still almost no news from our family in Miyagi …
In Tokyo Kudanshita, just after the first big one.
Last night my kids were drawing with padded cover on top of their heads.
It was the first time for them to spend such a frightening night.
