Family and I are fine Woody.
We didn't feel the earthquake, as it was so far away. I knew something was up though, since my cell phone stopped working. I couldn't call out to anyone on my work or personal cell phone.
When I got home to my neighborhood, I could hear the PA system warning in Japanese. The tsunami was supposed to hit here at 5:54 p.m. yesterday. I haven't heard any reports of damage here on Okinawa. The situation up on mainland is much worse. It looks like Sendai took the worst of it, which I'm sure you've seen. We were just north of there about 3 weeks ago. I have a friend here who is from Sendai. I haven't been able to talk to him, so I hope his family up there is ok.
Phone calls to mainland are still spotty. My co worker Noriko has been trying to ring her mother in Tokyo, but so far hasn't been able to get through.
