He is lucky to have missed that horror.
Such a sad sight to see those clips and photos. My heart goes out to them.
So far the following FReepers in Japan have reported in as safe: AmericanInTokyo, Ronin, Bikkuri and TigerLikesRooster.
However, I'm worried about sushiman, who hasn't posted since 3/9/11. Please report in, sushiman!
I'm not aware of any other FReepers in Japan, but maybe I just don't know them.
What a horrific quake (and tsunami)... prayers up for all involved...
