    I hope you well and, from the little I can see, it would have been about 70 km from the main coast, you should be fine by now 👍

      There was literally a Jp magnitude 5 aftershock not 5 minutes ago, and the news is still blasting “evacuate” messages on the screen, so…

      I’m lucky, I’m far enough away that it was only about a Jp 4 here, but over 30,000 homes are without power in winter and at least one major cellular phone company is reporting they’re down in Ishikawa. It’s not fine at all.

        I was trying to be reassuring but of course this is a difficult situation for you and more so for the people in those 30,000 homes and even worse for the few people who lost a relative in those quakes.
        Fortunately, you are amongst the lucky ones and there was no large tsunami as I have hoped so before.

        So again, I hope you well and if you can take some rest and distance yourself somewhat from those bad news and bad screens it might help.

        Take care and despite everything I wish you a Happy (happier) New year
