Not in Japan…

Thanks for the calls and emails and texts, but I was scheduled to leave for Japan today, so I’m still Stateside and okay.

I’ll be heading out next weekend now.

Talked to some folks over there, all US personnel appear to be accounted for, and minimal damage to US military facilities. I’m sure the folks will be helping the Japanese recovery effort any way they can. I know the USAF is giving support to the Japanese at the nuke power plant that is having issues.

Keep the Japanese in your thoughts and prayers, it’s pretty ugly and there will be a significant death toll off this one. Seems like the Ring of Fire (Pacific Rim Volcanoes) are particularly active this year…

Hawaii had a small Tsunami, as did Alaska and apparently Oregon (and moving South to California), but adequate warning was received…

  1. Opus #6 posted up significant damage at Crescent City, CA with the harbor taking heavy damage from the wave.

    Be safe and wait long enough to insure that there’s not another one of those in Japan as a follow on from a different fault. We don’t want to see you hurt.

  2. Thank Goddness you were here for sure! Sadly I’ve heard that some folks are already blaming the tragedy on “global warming”. Sigh. . .

  3. Glad you are safe! Videos from Japan are horrifying. My prayers are going up. My employer is Japan based, no injuries but one of two plants were shut down.

  4. Thanks all, and yes, PLEASE pray for the Japanese folks, they will need it. Death toll may be 1000+
