In the Nihonbashi district of central Tokyo, more than 100 people were waiting for bus services to western parts of Tokyo, with subway and other railway services suspended. “I don’t know how long I will have to spend to go back home,” said a housewife in her 60s, who was standing at the end of the line before the bus stop.

MUST sleep .. prayers on my pillow for all those
suffering, grieving and in harm’s way.
Thank you for keeping vigil on the nightwatch.
Lord have mercy.
