地震によせて ～A Big Earthquake in Japan～

I recieved many e-mail and messages from friends all over the world with concerning about our big earthquake in Japan. I really appreciate for that, thank you so much.

Fortunately, I am safe.  We live in south and we don't feel any quakes at all here . 

But I have my mom, relatives, many of my friends living in Tokyo, and they really had hard times yesterday.
My mom said many cups, glasses, plates, flower vases were broken and many many books were thrown away from her shelves, and she still feels quakes quite often. 
Some of my friends had to stay at their office all through the night, because most of traffics were out of service.  Some of them tried to get their home walking all the way and they said they got home around 3am in the midnight.  BUT, Tokyo is Okay. Things are getting better.
But I don't want to believe what had happened  in the north where the biggest earthquake hit...big tsunami had hit a small fisherman's town and  many cars and houses were destroyed.  All we can do is just pray for people who suffered this big quakes and also for people who are still not found.

昨日の地震は本当に想像を絶するものがあります。
私は九州に住んでいるため、今回は全く地震を体感することもありませんでしたが、
母や親せき、沢山の友人が東京におり、昨晩はみなさん、それはそれは大変な思いをして
家路についたり、会社で夜を明かしたりされました。
まだまだ余震も続いて眠れない夜だったに違いありません。
友人の中にはご実家が仙台の方もいて、どんなにか不安だったかと思うと胸が痛みます。
テレビで見る映像には本当に言葉を失います。
どうぞ被災されたみなさんが一日も早く普通の生活に戻れるように、心から祈っています。
離れたところから何もできないけど、余震もまだ続きます、どうぞくれぐれも
みなさん気をつけて・・・。
