Firstly, I'm so happy to say my family is doing great on Okinawa, though I can't say the same for many people on the mainland. I've been watching Japan news all day and it's not looking too good AT ALL. I just wish i were home to help out somehow. From here all I can do for now is donate some cash which should be put to good use.
There are over 500 dead, and over 500-600 missing or wounded, and the numbers are climbing. a great many people can't get home or get in contact with their relatives. The news here is focusing (rightly so) on the areas near the epicenter, but people all over japan are suffering, not just the place of the earthquakes
