Strong Earthquake in Japan

I’m watching Japanese TV all day since this morning.  I usually don’t say home and watch TV on day time but today is a different.  It is because that a major earthquake happened in my country, Japan.  It was the largest earthquake in record history in Japan which is Magnitude 8.8.  Also a strong Tsunami hit Miyagi Prefecture, which is the Pacific Ocean side of northeast area, and it looks like causing extensive damage. The largest earthquake hit about 11 hours ago and still powerful aftershocks are continuing.  Also there is another earthquake hit Nagano Prefecture just few minutes ago and they still don't know there is a relation between the one biggest one.  Tsunami warning and watch has issued almost all coastal area of Japan.  I felt like what's going to happen to Japan!!  I have nothing to do besides praying.  Fortunately, I still haven’t heard any damage about my hometown, which is Mie Prefecture, but I can’t get my family on the phone.  It is because the phone is not working many area of Japan.  It is terrifying situation.
