Tokyo Area Earthquakes Continue - Iwakuni Update

1 PM Wednesday: Major earthquake aftershocks - M 6.0 and greater - continue to shake Tokyo and Sendai areas, the latest less than an hour ago. At this moment, no tsunami warnings are up. CLICK ON THIS LINK to see a time-lapse of aftershocks - amazing!

WHERE ARE WE? - 30 km west (actually due south) of Hiroshima on the seacoast of Seto Inland Sea . . . CHECK THIS MAP

We had low 40s and snow this morning in Iwakuni. Unseasonably cold & snowy weather is occurring in much of Japan and we are especially concerned about surviving earthquake, tsunami victims & nuclear reactor evacuees suffering from cold with lack of electricity, heat, blankets, food. We are all feeling very helpless . . .
