For those who have never been to the region... see link. I sure hope they aren't too damaged. Nice folks.

Yep, I am curious to see how that affected our freinds to the north. Sure must have "lit up" the NORPAC region

My wife is from Hakodate, and has been trying unsuccessfully to telephone her family since the quake hit. Someone in Russia picked up the last time she called, so maybe comm is beginning to come back on line.

Thanks Jerry. Her family is in our thoughts. Praying for good news.

Folks can keep up to date with CNFJ data in Yokosuka at the linked facebook page.
