Glad you are safe. Any damage reports? Preliminary 7.9 Magnitude.
Oh, my! Glad you are okay! Guess the Pacific Rim is getting warmed up.
7.9?
That’s big. Prayers up.

Glad you are ok. Thanks for the post. Keep us updated as you can
I'd started a thread here on the quake itself.
That is some serious mag!
Wow! There were a couple earlier this week. Pre-quakes.
Glad you are OK...hope all our Tokyo FReepers are the same.
Tsunami warning out. Ten feet.
Prayers - how bad?
I hope you’re both safe, and that you’ll stay that way!

Best of thoughts going out!
Thanks for letting us know you’re safe. STAY safe! Initial reports usually are lacking in info and accuracy. Hopefully, there’s minimal damage to people there. Apparently smoke coming form Capitol right now per Fox News
Here's a related thread:
Damn! Glad you’re OK. I Lived in the Bay Area in during the ‘89 quake and remember not thinking “earthquake” but “Jesus is returning”.
Thank you for checking in, hope you remain safe and I hope AmericaninTokyo is soon able to check in as well.
Prayers up for you and all of yuns (Pittsburgh word for the plural form of you) over there. I’m watching NHK and it looks like cars and boats were tossed around like Matchbox cars. Take care over there. Got work tomorrow so it is time for bed.
