Hi all. Despite being in Tokyo during the quakes, I am alive and well although aftershocks are continuing to come through and scare the pants off of me. It was pretty terrifying today; we had to evacuate the building twice in a row (after which they canceled classes). They stopped all the trains in the area until (I'm pretty sure) Sunday. Thankfully, I live only about five miles/eight km from the school so I was able to walk back to my apartment with some friends.
Also, the gas and water in my apartment are fine. The gas is set to automatically turn off in the case of an earthquake, which is reassuring.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all the dead or injured as well as all those stranded without shelter because of the train stoppages.
