h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

As you may know, we have had fairly big earthquake in Japan, and there will be quite big damages in some areas and we are having big tsunami, too.

Fortunately, it's not serious in my area. so don't worry me, please.
Just I wish there won't make our country in chaos.

any news from anoldgreymoonraker??

No, but he lives near my area, (not the same region), so there won't be big damage there, too.
A friend of mine lives near there, but she is okay, so he will be fine.

maybe the cause

Good to know you're okay.

Hm... I didn't read the whole article but I'm not sure the moon would cause this, in order for its gravity to have any significant seismic effect on the Earth you'd have to nearly halve the distance and then it would be felt the world over not just in the Pacific!

You are allright

Thank you for all of your messages.
As I told you, my area wouldn't have any damages, so I'm safe.

Just I found how terrible tsunamis are. It swallowed up all in a second!
We can not be against the nature.

Well, well, we need to be careful still now, even it stopped shaking. the weather forecast said that after shock would continue at least for one month, and the scale of after shock would be almost the same with the main shock

And thank Mr.D. and Animal for telling me the cause of the disaster

I hope no more victims will be found.

apart from that... I've got still language problem .. I even refuse to hear/see any Japanese at the mo .. and because I haven't been able to type Japanese, it's really inconvenient to contact my acquaintance (very few..) here.. aarrggghhhh really frustrated.
I really want to murmur to the one who is the cause of my typing problem this time. those kind of ppl never care how others feel with the harsh words attack. So, all I can do is to ignore it.

Jim and I are very glad to hear that you're alright, he telephoned me this morning to tell me. If you want to contact Jim at any time, his email address is on his page.

hi taeko

im on one of my short visits to the cyber.

i tryed to email you, but the addy must be out of date

you will have to email me at home. jimcracker7(att)activemail.co.uk

You may know already by news.
In North-south area of Japan, the nuclear power has explored.
They said that although the scale was serious, but it won't be fatal at the moment, but they warn all habitants near power station to stay at home, to protect themselves from the nuclear power,and so on.

Fortunately, I am tooo far from the place, so as far as I'm concerned, please don't worry.
I am sad that many people is going to die or there are more and more victims because of huge TUNAMIS here and there.
We have still after shocks time to time, not my area, though.

We are all sending good wishes to the people of Japan, at this very tragic and frightening time

All I can do......
