Hello I'm checking on everyone in the guilds I'm in and making sure you're no where near New Zealand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Hawaii, you know the places expected to get waves and such over the next few hours, caused by 8.9 earthquake in Japan.

How sweet of you to make a thread like this. My mother contacted my stepfather a while ago [he went to California for week or two],He's pretty far from the coast right now so he's safe.
This is such a horrific occurrence,I will be praying for the residence of Japan.
That's good to hear, I'm glad you and your stepfather are both safe. I wish I could help but I don't know how to other than the usual prayers for them.

Normally when there's hurricanes and nasty weather on the coasts, where I live, we get hit with high speed winds and storms. But it's a very beautiful day. The sun is out, it's nice and warm. There's a cool breeze.
In New Zealand, a tsunami is a reason to go to the beach. They're interesting. That you're worried at all about us is massively bizarre. We don't even have a warning, just a vague advisory. The only people here really in danger are people who are actually IN the water.
I'd be more concerned about those pacific islands that are actually lower in their entirety than the wave will probably be. Or was, since I think it has passed over most people by now.

Thank you for making this thread. My older sis is in Hawaii, but I am sure she is fine.

I hear people in Hawaii evacuted with time to spare, and that the waves were a little higher than expected. What news? Was there much damage? I can't find much on that on news sites.

My parents, and much of my mom's extended family live in Hawaii, but they said they are all fine. My folks live a bit inland and up the side of a mountain, so their house is fairly protected.
I have three Japanese friends. I know one of them is alright. I'm so worried for the other two.

Well that's one of thes reasons I made this, I wanted to check on my friends, some of them live in those danger areas and of course I worry about everyone when I hear of this kind of a disaster. I'm glad to hear so many are alright, and I'm praying for those who are in the danger areas and any relatives or friends of theirs that haven't checked in from those areas yet.
I live in the middle of the US, so I think I'm pretty safe from tsunamis. Tornadoes though.... I'm glad I have a basement.
I feel really horrible about Japan, and all the damage and lives lost. Might be a stupid coincidence, but while the main big earthquake was happening, I was laying in bed telling my boyfriend how something feels wrong. Not quite like butterflies or an upset tummy, but like something wasn't right, but I couldn't place what.. Was very odd to hear about the earthquake and tsunamis the next day.
I wish I could go over there and help them, but I'd probably just get in the way. I have nothing I can offer but prayers.

I'm fine, but I'm mourning the loss of my uncle... He was in Japan, alone with my two friends. I don't know if they're okay or not.
