About quarter past 4pm, I, mother sister and her husband were in the living room, enjoying the tea and some sweets in the relaxed mood. Then we noticed the suspended lampshades were waving, then the quiver. The earthquake. It’s not a big quake here but soon we found it was big enough around Kanazawa and Noto peninsula, to cause the tsunami. The TV reporter has kept warning the local people to evacuate as soon as possible for hours, for tsunami could come hours after the quake. We had tea time together, then supper - the new year’s day feast but kept the TV news program on. There were the fire, collapsed houses and damaged roads, flood caused by the waves etc in the damaged area. Around 5pm it’s got dark and nobody knows how bad the damages were though there seems to be many casualties, I’m afraid many are killed. I have just hoped this new year would be a peaceful one but it started with the natural disaster. This of course spoiled our joy of the new year and family gathering. I hope not many people were killed…

Oh NO. I had no idea - I avoided news yesterday. I will go read about it now. I hope it's not as bad as it seemed. :(

I was worried. Our media informed about the quake immediately and I checked on Yokohama at once. I was relieved to see that you were not near the centre of the disaster. Still it must have been a hottible experience for you and your guests! I am sorry for the victims, of course...
