Earthquake in Ishikawa


Hello all,

Apparently, there was a huge earthquake that struck Japan today, but it was all the way over in Ishikawa prefecture (state), while I'm on the other side of the country, in Tokyo prefecture (please refer to the map I have provided if you are wondering). Ishikawa kinda looks like a mitten sticking out into the Sea of Japan (western side) around the middle of the country, but as you can see, Tokyo is on the other side. Now, it doesn't look very far, but don't forget that the interior of Japan is covered in mountain ranges, so its as if i'm on the other side of the Rockies from the epicenter. So don't worry, I'm perfectly fine. Just keep those people who lost their homes and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.
