EARTHQUAKE ROLL CALL !!!!!!

[sc7500]

Because this is an International Forum, it only seems fitting that we keep tabs on our friends in the Pacific Quake Area.

PLEASE check in today when there's time and let us know you are safe - Yes, Talon, that includes YOU - and stay away from stuff that falls ! :salute:

I sent an email to Talon earlier telling him to head for high ground but I haven't had a reply yet. I'm not sure if he's in the US or back in Hawaii?

Anyone heard from Usio-san??

Or Talos and Igacci?

I saw on the news this morning that the Kyoto News Agency is reporting 88,000 people missing now.

Hi, friends.

Thanks to my guardian I'm back home alive.

Tokyo suffered relatively less damage and is now recomposing.
People are calm and in an order.
My families and relatives, too.

I was gathering information while going back home.
Nothern part of the pacific side of Japan received devastating damage by both record-breaking arthquakes (yes, not a single one) and an imediate follow of a tidal wave.
I'm too shocked and still can't believe the video that a tide is swallowing a hole village within a couple of minutes, sweeping it away completely.
The news said the flood arrived in no more than a minute after the quake.
There were little time for them to evacuate to rising ground...

We are confident that we are best-prepared against earthquakes in the world.
But actually we are so fragile against tsunamis.

Situation is becoming worse as it's cold for March, it became even colder after evening came down .

Friends, plz keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer to them underneth the freezing air.

Regards

Daisuke

Talon moved to higher ground towards the end of the summer. If he had time, I'm sure he took his boat out to sea. I haven't seen him on skype.

[Jagdflieger]

We are relieved and glad that you and your family is OK Igacci.

The film footage on the news shows terrible destruction from the Tsunami as well as some damage from the earthquake.

It now looks like there is some damage to one of the nuclear power plants and that there may be a release of some radioactive material into the atmosphere.

Right now the gov. spokesperson said it's not in critical situation for the mean time.
The explosion is caused by some-how-leaked hydrogen and atmospheric oxigen mix.
The core (pressured container) stays intact.

BTW, I had a phone call from Yashico this afternoon.
He is very OK.
Algthough the electricity is out in whole Akita city, life line (water, food, gas) is OK.
(He was complaining that general shops were down and inconvenient.)

I was speaking with him late last night, a few hours before the earthquake ... he was at home. (shortly after you signed off & Rami split because he was on "diaper patrol" once again)

Don't worry about Al ...because s!*t floats Bro; and we know he's full of it!!
And remember the last time he fell into the ocean? - it spit him back out onto the boat!

Does usio live in quake area? Anyone heard from him?

[Talon]

As soon as I heard about a possible tsunami headed our way we headed out to sea. It's one of the safest places to be because the tsunami builds as it gets to the shallow water by the land. We had plenty of warning and were over 20 miles out when it hit. Tomorrow we will go back to harbor to be on the safe side. The ocean still stays rough for hours and there are rip tides and so forth.

Dirtman there is a time for Humor and this is not a time for IT. I have seen the destuctive force of the Ocean,Earthquakes and Volcano eruptions first hand and there is no humor in it.

Alot people have been lost and My Prayers go out to them and their Families and Loved ones.

Lindsay,Thanks for the e-mail but I couldn't reply at the time because my e-mail went down right after I read yours.

Good news!

"Hi Peperz

Thank you for your concern!
I'm now stacked in a McDonald's on my way home.
Public transportation is all stoped.
It seems I have to spend a night here in McDonald's.

Tokyo is OK. Except a town-scale blackout in some area.

I'm more concern about Yashico, who is living in northern Japan, closer to the epi-center of the quake than Tokyo.

I'll PM you again when I get back home.

Cheers

Daisuke"

Time to pray for Yashiko.

Thanks God

[mariereid]

Yes, let's pray for him and all our friends from that part of our world. It was not a pleasant thing to see on TV. I cannot imagine going through something like that. We can only hope that those who have lost loved ones, their homes and everything else will be able to heal quickly and move forward. All we can do is offer help and hope you will get over your loss and find nothing but happiness for the rest of your lives.
