OMG. That sounds positively terrifying! Please keep us updated so we know you're okay!

[japankasasagi]

Thank you, sweetheart! I was really glad you came and commented, I really appreciate it. You know, I was wishing I could channel you in trying to describe what I was seeing, all this entry was sheer flow of consciousness. The bigscreen TV was right in front of me, I was typing as I was watching, and my hands were shaking so badly. There's so many missing, so many, and no way to get them relief save by helicopter. I tell you what, I live in the area that's due for a truly huge one, overdue in fact, and I live less than half a mile from the ocean. Gonna have to seriously RUN if it comes. Thank you again for replying! *Hugs*

Holy shit, please stay safe!

[japankasasagi]

Thank you, hon! Your sweet comics always put a smile on my face, even if I haven't commented. RL and such has been absorbing all of my attention recently, I still read your entries, and my other friends, but it's hard to comment. But I wanted to thank you and everybody else that's commented here, I appreciate it.

[japankasasagi]

I tell you, that was my entire face the whole time, too, no joke. But you live in a 'seismically active zone' yourself, you know what I'm talking about! But it was that wave, beyond words. Are you safe from a tsunami there?

[japankasasagi]

Wow, you're still up? ;D Wait, some other people got swept out too? I only heard about the one guy at Klamath, taking pics. That tsunami, watching it live, was something else. ALL the staff were glued to the TV set, in shock, watching that. My BIL lives in Tokyo, his company told him to evacuate just in case there is a meltdown, so he went back to western Japan to my in-laws house. The news is not going to be honest here regarding the nuclear plant, I'm reading the foreign news for that. But we're safe here, even if there is one, Fukushima's plant isn't like CHernobyl's. But every single plant is located right by the sea, I think it's because one of their emergency measures is to pump sea water in as a cooling agent if the main one fails. Huzbando and I are starting to discuss a real evacuation plan and supplies, just in case. :(

gods. i just heard about the quake and tsunami a few minutes ago.

*hugs tight* i'm so, so glad that you're not down in the area that's being drowned and that you're physically all right. stay safe, hon. you and all the other people of Japan are in my thoughts and prayers.

[japankasasagi]

Thank you, sweetie! I'll take the hugs, too! It's just like something out of the book of armageddon almost, it was so unreal. I've been keeping up with your entries and my other flisters, but the last month or so, RL has been taking all my attention and emotions, I'm really sorry... Can I hug you back?

[eerian_sadow]

gods, i can only imagine the unreality of it all. just hearing about it didn't seem real until i started seeing the pictures.

and you certainly can hug me back! i'm all about hugs. some days they are the fuel that keeps me going.

[japankasasagi]

Well, in that case, you can have all you want! :D I hope the weather is treating you better!

[shiome]

I'm so worried D: I hope you're safe! I'm getting flash news from some friends in Tokyo, but it's still terrifying.
