Edited: 9.0 Magnitude Earth Quake (Miyagi Perfecture)

On Break

My prayer goes to the people at Japan, and to those that have family at Japan.

I been aware of the earthquakes (ji shin) (6.3 / 7.2 magnitude) near Miyagi, as I was talking to my friend on Skype weeks ago, and he keep telling me 大丈夫.

Today, after the *9.0 magnitude hit Japan, I received his last message (he stay in Sendai!) saying Japan was hit by "absolutely massive earthquake" and I was so worry and replied him, but until 6.40p.m(+) (+8g.m.t) only I received his reply telling me he is ok. Thank god he is safe and sound.

Now they do not have gas, power & water. (Sendai)

This is the link to see the earthquake and aftershock that he shared with me. It constant updated.

As in Tokyo, I do not see my senior online, and I assumed he is safe too, but watching the news live at NHK is so heartbreaking. :(

My friend from Spain just landed Osaka few days ago and he confirm he is safe and sound. 

For those that might be affected by the Tsunami, please be extra careful.

You can watch live here (but in Japanese only)
