I live in Tokyo and am fine. A few of us dared work from the office yesterday. Tuesday night there was a big aftershock and another yesterday afternoon, both close by, both 6.0. The rolling felt like it never stopped and our building was shaking then swaying off and on all day.
The nuke problem is getting increasingly worrisome. I hear the radiation level rose near Tokyo, but 'within safe levels' for now. I'm monitoring the U.S. Air Force and Navy bases nearby via radio and if I hear they start moving, I'm outta here too.
Our company asked everyone to work remote until next week.
There's no gasoline, all the gas stations have since closed and we only have a half tank, supermarkets emptied, no batteries, bottled water, or toilet paper. Rolling blackouts, trains running sporadically, and a business downturn. Ok for now, but things just aren't looking too good.
Earthquake, tsunami and nuclear radiation; feels like I'm living through a science fiction movie. I imagine Godzilla may arrive sooner or later.
Depressed, cold, exhausted, fearful. Alcohol has no appeal.
