2:30am and finally made it back home from work. All major transportation systems and highways in Tokyo were/are down, 2km long line for taxis and buses, 1 to 2 mph average speed on packed local roads. Most people just walked home roughly following the railway tracks for hours. Looked like a scene out of a disaster movie. No hotel rooms left. Convenience stores sold out of all food.

Was on the 6th floor. Wild ride. Started small and just got steadily stronger. Never seen people so scared. Some just dropped to the floor not knowing what to do. Went down the stairwell in record time in the midst of snapping sounds and screeching metal and bits of plaster and whatnot falling on my head. 2 inch wide cracks in the foundation of the building I was in, but fortunately it didn't fall down. Just happy to be back home, even though I found all my possessions thrown all over the floor.
