Earthquake

Please, please pray for those living in Iwate Prefecture and the surrounding areas, which were hit at approximately midnight today by yet another earthquake with an intensity of 6.8 magnitude on the JMA scale. I doubt it's hit the news yet but we'll probably know the death toll by tomorrow; all I know from tenki.jp is that the effects were far reaching, and the fact that we, here in Saitama, safe in our solid concrete house, were shaken, means it was big and dangerous.

So please, do pray.
