Argh, my previous homestay family is in a residential district of Yokohama. (Kamiooka, to be exact.) What are the odds an area like that would come out mostly okay, kei17?

I think Yokohama is mostly okay, but the news reports the lifeline damage there, so honestly I am not sure.
A strong quake yet again just a while ago. Oh, man...

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this: Where does Julian live again? Is he near, or far from the tsunami?

He's in Osaka, isn't he? Hope he's okay, haven't seen him pop up on Twitter or anything yet.

Edit: Never mind, he did about 15 minutes ago.

It's the biggest earthquake to hit Japan in 140 years.

Wow, my partner is in japan at the moment, but luckily she is inland and south from the epicenter. I just experienced the chch earthquake too. Scary stuff. The footage of the tsunamis is insane.

Good luck bro!

Also it really is an impressive event taking place, I hope the safety measures Japan has to combat this situation really prove their worth!

But honestly I'm more worried about the small islands in the pacific...

And oh, maybe Cell's Earth Shaking episode really will be cancelled.
It certainly sounds like a possibilty to me.

Why would I need it? The Tsunami is coming towards the eastern Indonesia, I live in the western Indonesia. So I'll be fine.

Also, I hope Toriyama, Oda, and Kishimoto are okay.

Good for you, I guess...

From what I've heard, approximately 5 hours ago.

Wow, this is absolutely horrible! My thoughts go out to Japan and it's inhabitants (and everyone who is there at the moment)!
Honestly, the anime industry is at the moment the least of my concern @_@ Which prefectures were hit?

StarRot · Post by **StarRot** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 8:02 am

According to Al Jazeera a tsunami has hit Hokkaido, Aomori prefecture, Ibaraki, Chiba and Tokyo Bay.

Does anyone know how bad the Hirakawa area (Aomori) was hit?

Turn on CNN.
But... their coverage won't have a lot of lemony energy drink commercials!

Then turn on Fox News! Sure they might go into talking about Charlie Sheen after 30 minutes of talking about the Earthquake, but it's at least better than CNN.

I am glad you are okay.

The first thing that came to my mind when I heard about the Earthquake was if Julian was alright. It seems that the trains are still running in Osaka according to his latest Twitter message.

My thoughts go out to all those in Japan.

Wow, things look terrible! I'm currently watching the coverage on Al Jazeera's YouTube broadcast.
