The Situation of my Family and Friends after the Tohoku Earthquake
Posted on
7
I’ve been calling all my friends, especially the ones that live close to the earthquake epicenter near Sendai, Japan. Nobody I know was hurt during the earthquake in the slightest. Everybody in Northern Japan experienced the shocks of the quake, but nobody was close enough to the coast to be affected by the tsunami.
My family in Niigata reports that they all went outside during the earthquake, but then went back inside when it was over because of the cold. Simon in Misawa in Aomori Prefecture says he was without power for 40 hours. Sam in western Tokyo was also without power, but he has a generator that generated enough power for lights. Paul in Nasu, northern Tochigi prefecture said that he and his family were not at home during the quake. They returned to find many broken dishes on the floor. I tried calling friends in Sendai which is close to the epicenter, but their phones were not working. However, I heard from others that they are all OK.
I lived in Sendai from 1975 – 1977. During that time I used to visit the towns of the Rikuzen area that were destroyed by the tsunami. There is not a single city in the area I haven’t been to.

Hi James,
How are you?
There used to be a couple named “Noah and Precious” in Japan. However, they discontinued their membership and communications with the Family International several years ago. Apparently, they were living in Sendai, but I am no certain how long ago. Perhaps, is there a possibility of any knowledge his full name? He is my alleged father, and I’ll trying to track him down. It’s just slightly impossible not having a full name.
If you have a reference of someone else that could assist me with a name, I would truly grateful.
Thank you once again for your time.Marie

I’ve been watching CNN all day while sitting in my friends home in Osaka. Normally I don’t give much credibility to CNN reporting, but they do seem to be doing a good job covering the earthquake and the tsunami. There was a telephone interview with a man from the nuclear power plant. He certainly wasn’t talking fear. They seem to have the situation under control.
Dear James,
Would it be possible for you to get more inside info from Japanese sources about the Nuke plant, as people in Taiwan are of course also very concerned, and we have family near Tokyo. There is a lot of fear mongering going on. Austria is in panic mode evacuating all citizens from Asia, and distributing Iodine to their people. The most sensible report I got was from an expert on CNN, but it would be nice to get some Japanese experts. But even one of those was a real fear monger and assuming the worst. Forgot his name. 10.000 by the way are missing, and could be dead! So weeping may endure for the poor victims survivors. We are praying for the nuclear station and hoping for some journalism from your side. If you have a chance! Lots of love and prayers. How is the family in Sendai holding out? Bye for now
True journalism means doing the footwork and meeting the people in question face to face and doing interviews. Sorry but I cannot do that. I’m not anywhere near Tohoku now, but in Osaka. My source of information is no different than yours.
I hear my friends in Sendai are all OK, thanks be to God!
