8.9 Earthquake in Japan

[amethystdragon]

All of the West Coast of the United States are under a Tsunami warning. The only good news is that they had plenty of warning that it was coming. I have friends in Alaska, have spoken with them and they are safe. I also have friends in California, have not heard from them.

I am glade to hear from our player base that are in the effected area, and that they are alright.

Best hopes and wishes to all.

As someone who went through the quake in new zealand my thoughts and prayers are with the people in japan.

I posted here when our earthquake hit Chistchurch in NZ. I thanked all the countries that came to our assistance including Japan.

Today New Zealand is flying 1/3 of its entire USAR resources direct to Japan along with the Japanese contingent returning to help their own.

My most sincere (and sombre) reflections to all caught up in this massive natural disaster event in Japan and surrounds. My thoughts also to those who leave their own behind at a moments notice to go help someone else's.

It is an honour that New Zealand can help repay that which others have done to help us.

Footage of the earthquake is nothing short of catastrophic, APOCALYPTIC even.

The awe-inspiring force of the tsunami obliterating entire villages and moving hundreds(thousands?) of vehicles is humbling to those of us that live near the coast.

Has anyone heard from some of the Japanese players to see if they're alright?

Myself, wife, in-laws and friends all survived unscathed. Interesting experience being in a train that feels like it is going to shake off the rails...

I am just glad that I was not near the coast in the Tohoku area. My prayers go out to those that were.

You've been in my thoughts - very glad to hear you and yours are ok.
