Hey Guys -

I got a PM from Pandadandan just after the quake, he is OK - sounds like Tokyo escaped the worst of it. Still, Scary stuff

Hey all. 
Finally got home almost 24 hours later.

Thank you all so much for your concern and kind messages.  None of my family or friends were affected too badly, which is a great relief.

The affected costal region bore the brunt of it.  I'm kind of avoiding the news a bit as it's far too spirit-crushing.  Tokyo wasn't so badly affected.  In fact, on my way home it was strange to see shop staff in their uniforms selling freshly-made cakes and so on.  The mind boggles.

Right

Sleep time now.

I'll report in again when I wake up.

Wonderful news!

Best wishes from New Orleans.  :)

Edit: I can tell you from personal experience (hurricane Katrina), that avoiding cable "news" like CNN, etc. is a good idea.  ;)

Good news indeed.

The imagery on the national news last night was a bit disturbing. And flaming tsunamis? What's next--Godzilla?? (sorry; too soon for a joke?)

apparently, they are reporting a likely meltdown at one of the power plants.  possibly two. 

a meltdown means the reactor has literally melted on the inside, but it does not yet mean that radiation had escaped from the containment case.  The concrete containment building is gone, but the metal containment case is still intact.

I saw this "ring of fire" on the news the other day. left me relativly scared and uneasy. I want guitar pedals not world destruction!

Here's a bump out to pandadandan

I don't know quite how we can help.  But let us know if you need anything!

Thanks for the kind messages.

All is (relatively) well with my family and I.  I took my wife back to her hometown for a few days respite, but am heading back to Tokyo tomorrow.  Not really looking forward to it, but that's life I suppose.
