Earthquake in Japan

To everyone in Japan and others in the region affected by the tsunamis, we hope you are and will stay safe. We are thinking about you.

The following came in on the AH list regarding Modeless Factory in Japan. If anyone out there wants me to put up a post for them feel free to send it in. I know we have many readers in the region. Contact info is on the bottom right of the site, and of course feel free to leave a comment in this post below.

via Maciak on the AH list:
"Following the news about the earthquake in Japan, I managed to contact Ko Okatake (Modeless factory) who let me know he was ok but he is suffering from electricity cuts and hence has no internet access. The message to AH is that Modeless Factory will be closed for a few days.

Ko also asked me to forward this message to other forums but since I subscribe to AH only, will those of you who know where that info might need to be directed do so, please?

Needless to say, condolences to all of the list members who or whose families were affected by this calamity.

Maciek"

"横揺れなので、どうせ震源から遠いと思ってなめてました。東京在住ですが、おそらく2分以上にわたり長くて次第に大きくなる揺れが続いたと記憶しています。震度５強だった­そう。おかげで部屋はめちゃくちゃ。本棚固定しているのにこの有様ですよ。地震は本当に恐ろしい！マグニチュード8.8もの巨大地震ということで、観測史上最大だそうです­。個人的には阪神大震災で経験した揺れに次ぐ巨大地震でした。"

"Since rolling, I was far from the epicenter and I lick anyway. But living in Tokyo, is remembered as the shaking lasted for more than two minutes long, gradually perhaps. It was a strong intensity 5. Thanks The rooms are a mess. but it is this that secures the shelf affairs. Earthquakes are scary! magnitude 8.8 earthquake in that huge TV, it seems the maximum recorded history. I personally have experienced tremors following the Great Hanshin Earthquake Could large earthquakes. "
