Earthquake

We are both safe and ok. When the quake hit we were in Cokai at an after graduation party. It started out very slow with no one even seemin scared after it had gone for maybe 3 or 4 minutes it really picked up. Teachers opened doors to the outside and every one got ready to get under the tables. Half way through the first quake the electrcity wentout. At that point none of us hadany clue how bad it really was. All we knew was that our area seemed fine. The teachers sent all the kids outside and away from the building. People turned on their phones and we got news of the tsunami hitting the coast. All we did that day was go home and try and contact other teachers and friend and family back home. We didnt have any power and it was a cold night. The next day we walked around townand got flashlight candles and some food. Our town is very lucky no damage that we saw and no deaths. We were without power and much news for over 24 hours. Since the quake there have been alot of choppers flying over. Its 830 am on Sunday as I write this and we are still having after shocks. Last we heard about Ffukushima nuclear plants thhe evacuation zone was 20 kilometers. They had an explosion there around I think 3 yesterday. Also one of the reactor building roof had colapsed. Im watching the Japanese news and the pictures from the coast are awfull. It looks like whole towns are gone. The damage is very bad. Last figures I saw were 300 dead in Iwate most of that number seems to be from the town of Rikuzentakata. The news is running lists of dead at the bottom of the screen and one whole channel is just messages to family members. Please pray for everyone on the coast and the millions still without power. We are very fortunate we have food water power and neighbors who have checked on us. The only thing we dont have is internet. This is from our keindle.
