In Tokyo and the surrounding prefectures, they are having planned blackouts in order to cut down electricity usage.
In Osaka, we are asked to conserve electricity as much as possible too.
Since television is limited to updates, we went to bed at 21:00 last night.
From what I understand, today several of the nuclear tanks exploded causing some radiation to leak, hopefully they can stop this from becoming yet another disaster.
Even though things don't look too good, we're trying to keep positive, hope you are too.
UPDATE: I just got word that my friend and her family in Sendai are fine. Thank you! for all your prayers and good thoughts. Please continue to pray for those who haven't found their loved ones/friends yet.

Which is why I don't sit in front of the television as much as I used to Rowena, just too stressful.
Thank you and take care everyone!

Hang in there--it must be very hard. I was so happy to hear your friend was OK too.
so happy to hear from her Deb in Hawaii, there are so many others who haven't been able to get in touch/find their loved ones/friends.
Take care.
