Just heard from my Japanese distributor. He said that most public transportation in Tokyo was out of service and he had to walk 7 miles from work to home.

He wrote that he'd never felt a "shock" like that in his life but that all was well with him and his family. He said that there were quite a few aftershocks and his water heater keeps going off but he hopes things will return to normal in the city while the country deals with this major disaster.
