Earthquake

This is breaking my heart watching the news what's happening in Japan. This is just devastating. So sad. Some villages have been completely swept away destroyed by Tunami. It's killing so many lives. Tunami is warned all around the country. Feels so unreal watching the news. I just hope that this doesn't get any worse and hope as many lives get saved soon.

Big Aftershocks are still occurring frequently in many areas.
I've experienced Kobe earthquake 16 years ago. I thought I was gonna die even my area wasn't the seismic center, I thought we got bombed. I heard the ground dropping and I couldn't move. I felt useless and helpless. My cousin who lived 12th floor thought that aeroplane crashed in to the building. She suffered from being sick and dizzy for many years. Friends family died... Flashback, so frightening....

Every little things we can do counts helping survivors.
Everyone in Japan are trying now.... It makes me cry.
The affected area still have no electric.
Millions got stranded in Tokyo as all the transportation shut down yesterday evening,
homeless people were offering cardboard boxes to those business men who can't go home to make them comfortable sit down on the concrete ground.

My friends are today bringing some food, water & blankets to those people who evacuated and staying in shelters.

Fortunately my family is ok, but aftershocks are occurring in their area too.

I hate it. I feel so anxious.

So many countries are offering Japan to help. So many friends contacted me yesterday checking my friends and family are okay.
Thank you so much.

Lots of Love

Akiko

Pleases don't give up and live though this.
