Riding the waves~a welcome home

Not really (my area is only in the moderate Tsunami warning zone) but that was one doozy of an earthquake!
I didn't realize how serious it was until my host sister ran in and was like "R U OKAY? I thought we were going to have to evacuate!" to which I was like "Yeah...i'm fine...". See, I was taking a nap as I just returned to Japan today and was very tired from my journey and as the earthquake was happening I was like;
"...should I get outta bed?"

*shaking gets more intense*

"This seems like a pretty good one..."

*SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE*

"...I think I'll just lay this one out".

But once the natives (aka my host sister) start freaking out that's when you know you should probably start panicking (well not really, like I said my area is only in a *moderate* tsunami warning zone).

Still experiencing after shock but it's seemed to calmed down around here. *typing this as a pretty big after shock rocks my house* Well, maybe I should still be on guard.


Hoping all my friends in the high alert areas are okay!!

Keep safe and pack a bag just in case.
The tsunami sirens are going off along the Oregon coast so I guess it is do longer just a warning. Here is hoping the wave is only 6 inches higher than normal like last time.

Glad to see you are okay. Gurl, you're made of some tough stuff (like your mama)! Stay safe.

Hey! It's funny to think that you had a tsunami warning too, as my parents slept through one across the Pacific there in Newport.

Well regardless, stay safe haha.

Thank you all for your love and caring! We're all afraid for the nuclear power plant now and the possibility of another earthquake hitting in the near future(after shocks have been happening regularly throughout the day). But so far everything is in order where I'm at.

Moria--> I was half asleep when the big one happened so it took me a while to realize what was going now. Now that it's all sunk in and i've seen all the destruction on the TV i'm feeling very thankful to be alright. Wouldn't want to experience it again. ever.
