arwen Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 What a horror... I can't even believe what I am seeing on the screen. Link to comment
sidehop Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 More rattling; M3~M6 in the last hour Saturday morning Japan time. Far from over yet; now a nuclear power plant in danger of radiation leak as the pressure is rising due to the cooling system failing after the quake. Over 7 million without power either... I was talking to my mom earlier as my grandmother lives three hours north of Sendai; probably not affected by the tsunami as she's on the opposite coast though just praying she's in a safe place. I'm sure the phones are tied up as there's no way to get a hold of her. Just heart wrenching to know all the people that lost their loved ones not to mention trying to find out if they're okay or not Link to comment

Just heart wrenching to know all the people that lost their loved ones not to mention trying to find out if they're okay or not I hope your family is okay, sidehop! There are thousands of people here (out in the Pacific, where we had sirens and evacuations all night, but only mild property damage) who can't get through to loved ones in Japan. It's awful. Last night I heard a nuclear reactor was "on fire" -- I'm not sure if that was correct, but I would think that would be the worst kind of catastrophe. Link to comment
Snny Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I have friends who are living and working in Japan. Two of them were near the earthquake site and are missing. This has been quite an unsettling day for me... Link to comment
italiannmf24 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I hope Japan has very limited casualties and many are helped/sheltered. This is a tragedy, please give every country that has been warned of the quake good supporting ground and safety. Their gonna need all of strength they can get, they'll pull through this thing.

itsallgrand Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Does anyone here have a good understanding of Japanese emergency response procedures? I'd like to know where all those people are going. ? I've only just found out about this and haven't been able to stop crying. I've got some family in Tokyo. Don't know yet if they are ok. It is hard to get a hold of anyone or any infomation like that yet. Hoping someone here gets an email or something soon at least. I hope everyone finds their families and loved ones, and my heart is with all those people suffering right now. It's so awful, I wish we could take that and this suffering is eased soon soon soon. Enotalone is a real community to me. Moments like this you see it more than anything. Big love to you all, everyone stay safe. Link to comment

I'm not sure of the exact procedures and pretty sure they are well equipped but in situations like this I'm sure they'll need all the help they can get. My wife did talk to her friend in Tokyo where they obviously got hit with the quake but no major loss like up north. Link to comment
itsallgrand Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Thanks Sidehop. That puts my mind at ease a bit more. I swear, I'm not usually a crier, this for some reason has me being one. It's very heartening to hear your wife was able to talk with her friend in Tokyo. Link to comment

wsim Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 So very sad to hear. Prayers and thoughts to all in Japan. I know a few friends over there but was relieved to hear that they are okay. I know some that also have family there, so this is very concerning. My heart sunk when I heard the news this morning. Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I was watching it on the news tonigth at work and they showed a clip of this massive wall of water with what had to 100's of cars floating in it... it's just awful. Link to comment
mines Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 My best friend is Japanese, (lives in the U.S.) she still has people in Japan, not sure if they are safe or not. I have another friend that lives in Indonesia. The news continues to get worse, it's devastating. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan and with all others affected by this tragedy Link to comment
LAYAAN Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I watched it last night. I'm left speechless after watching cars getting dragged with water and houses collapsing. Thousands of people are missing. May God be with the victims. Link to comment
