JAPAN: Earthquake & Tsunami

Just remembering one of our longtime UKY forum members who is (or was - last she updated) living in Japan & hoping she's okay!

She hasn't posted much for awhile, but Madeira - if you're reading this, I am thinking of you.  Please stop by & update.

I just can't get over some of this footage of the water coming through.  It is just unreal.  I felt a bit sick when I saw it.  I feel so bad for these people.  :-\\\\

Allegedly if there's someone you can't reach you can use this to look for more info:

Thanks!  I'm glad she's alright.  Don't see her on here much anymore but I think as she's been back in Japan for quite awhile now, probably UKY isn't as relevant for her nowadays.  :)

Indeed, thanks for letting us know! My thoughts go out to her and everyone there. The coverage is chilling. :(

Really good to hear from you!   :)  You haven't been on here in so long.  :(

I am glad you are okay - it must be hard.  :-\\\\
