Anxious to read about what you and your team are seeing. It is so difficult to find out how the Japanese are doing, how they are coping, how they are picking up the pieces of their lives after not one, but three horrible disasters occurring in the span of a few hours. Unlike the Haiti quake and tsunami that generated a lot of media attention and the outpouring of help from the rest of the world, the human side from japan is barely mentioned at all. For the media, only the nuclear plant breakdowns seem newsworthy.
I cannot imagine what it would have felt like feeling the earth roll and move beneath my feet. To thank God I was still standing after the record breaking earthquake stopped, only to see the huge wall of water sweep what remained of the tiny towns along the coast inland or back out to sea. They probably thought the world was ending, unfortunately for many it did. I want to know how they are doing, I want to know that the Japanese, the red cross, the military, and everyone else there can feel our prayers. I want to know what I can do to help them.
I only have 40 minutes each morning, sometime between 5:30 and 6:30 to listen to your show. I don't call in but I do listen each morning. This week I will be extra attentive!
Be careful out there, give the volunteers our thanks, the military our hearts, and the Japanese our encouragement. I am already prepared to purchase what it is you are seeing in whatever form of media you choose to document this trip knowing that it will go to help put the pieces back together. There is not many other ways to see, to know that they are okay, as okay as a person can be after the experiences they have had.
QUAKEBOOK! I forgot to mention this way, a way to help the Red Cross and the Japanese. A Man in Japan at the time of this display of Mother Nature at her strongest wanted to help. He didn't have skills as a pilot nor did he own a backhoe. But he could write! He sent out a request for first hand accounts of the thoughts, experiences, and what life was and is like during and after these events. Word spread and he started receiving many first hand accounts, and it became bigger every day. This book was put together by this man and then with a team of volunteers and will be ready to download as an ebook within days, book form a little later. All proceeds are going to the Red Cross. Enter quake book in your browser, or search for it on twitter, face book or other social site. Follow it, spread the word, and get the message out.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU/ARIGATO for your team to be there in Japan and letting me know how people in Japan are doing and the situation in Japan everyday. Japan is strong, Japanese are strong, but encouragement and help from others makes us even stronger. Many Blessings and you are touching many hearts and lives.
