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."

I am so glad your daughter is safe after this dreadful event even if she did have a long walk home. You will be wanting to give her a big hug. It was a huge quake wasn't it and it will be a long time before they will all be back to normal.
