Earthquake (continued)

The situation in Japan remains unsettled after the catastrophic 8.9 earthquake it has suffered last Friday.

After the tsunami, search and rescue workers are working desperately.


The nuclear threat caused by the explosion of 3 of 5 reactors is still unclear, but is being carefully controlled. A 3rd plant reactor has exploded early Tuesday, increasing the levels of radiation leakage. Although government officials say that the levels of radiation are still low enough to not cause harm to human health, residents located within 30km of the Fukushima Daiichi area are asked to stay indoors and to keep their doors & windows closed.


As people are panicked, grocery stores are running bare. Many are stocking up for emergency supply. Even in non-affected areas, the shelves of grocery stores are empty. Currently, Japan has limited access to energy, water, and food.

How you can help, inside and outside of Japan
(Provided by Time Out Tokyo)



Yesterday, an 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit the Touhou region in Japan.

Lucky for me, I am not in Japan but I saw some videos on Youtube. It’s really quite scary! The videos of the flooding is very disconcerting. Cars and boats get jumpled in the massive waves caused by the tsunami.

I live in a relatively safe geographical area, so I have never in my life experienced anything like that.

It’s nice to see the relief of the people after the quake.

I truly hope everyone is safe and well.

For those unaffected, life moves on. But for those who were victims of the earthquake, my thoughts and condolences go to you.
