Glad you are OK. Prayers for anyone who may be needing them at this time...

Pretty amazing that you all had advance warning - even if it was just 2 minutes!

Yes, we had advance warning for the first time, here nationwide in Japan of the earthquake--system put into place last October. I assess it gave me at least a 2 minute heads' up before it started to quake in the Kanto (Tokyo) region where we are--and some time to think and react.

It has been quite a day. About time to turn in here for the night, now.

Thank goodness for Japanese technology. Amazing. It worked. Thanks for your message earlier today. -- AiT
