8.9 Quake + tsunamis strike Japan

1. Aunt's family is safe but she can't find her friends.
2. Godfather's family and friends are safe.
3. Friend is safe but she can't find her friends and family.

I didn't realize how many loved ones (and friends of loved ones) I had in Japan until today when I started trying to track down everyone.

I didn't know until yesterday that Baby Berry's biological sister is working in Japan. She said that the big quake occurred when she was in the shower and she ran outside in a towel. (This would have been my younger sister's worst nightmare back in the day.)

Jenny's okay but terrified at the aftershocks. They slept with their shoes on last night in case they had to run out into the streets again.
