I write the message to my friends on umd who live in Japan and all who have family and friends in our country. Magnitude 5 earthquake is scary, reminds us of 2011 disaster. Unfortunately 20 people became injured from the earthquake and lots of damage is caused to homes and waterlines.
I was in Yokosuka Japan (approx 40 miles south of Tokyo) during the March 2011 earthquake/tsunami/nuke disaster... all the way through that until i trranferred out in August!
I have no doubt Japan will recover the best that it can... still scary though!
