Description
My daughter Heather lives and works in Chiba Japan near Tokyo. We got a phone call from her during the quake and she was trapped in a mall there. Luckily she got out safe. I was scared to death. This is a photo of her taken by a friend at her job, which sustained minor damage. She laughed because her can of Coke was still sitting on her the kitchen table.
This is what she said, "I was in a department store when everything started falling. A shelf of false eyelashes fell on me. but at least it was light! No-one could walk so we were all crawling to get out of the building. 6 1/2 hours later, and we are still feeling aftershocks. I'll include a few pictures I took with my cell phone. Trains are still not working, so I had to walk 8 miles to get home. The photo of me with the can of coke is in the kitchen of my main school. I had left my open can of coke there that morning, and I hoped it had survived the quake. The shaking we felt in my area was 6 on the japanese scale. that scale only goes to 7. But I could see the smoke from fires in the distance of a collapsed factory. it looked like the atom bomb. There's broken glass and concrete all over. My apartment wasn't bad. nothing was broken, but my toaster oven fell off the top of my microwave and into the sink."

she had to walk 8 miles to get home??? yesterday??? OMG. I walk 2 miles to work, 20 minutes at a fast pace ... she probably walked for 2 hours or more - best way to see what happened around you though... are the airports working? maybe she should pack it up and get out of there - Japan is no place to be right now and maybe not for the rest of our lives if those nuke plants go - ya know... I don't mean to scare you and I'm sure all this stuff has been going through your head - your daughter is a good looking kid, glad her coke was still standing.

WOW! Glad to hear she is OK Sherrie! I had forgotten that your daughter was over there. Scary stuff. Must be REALLY freaky having the ground shake uder you so badly you can't even walk. We have a fault out here on the east coast which is WAY over due for a BIG quake. With all these plates shifting it just might come. I sure hope not but one never knows.
