As some of you know, I have been in Tokyo this week working out of our main Headquarters. Just wanted to drop a note to say that I am OK and Uniden HQ is OK, too.
When the magnitude 8.9 hit, we definitely felt it. The building had very strong shaking for about 3 minutes. I was in a meeting on the 6th floor, and several of us took refuge under the heavy conference room table. Fortunately, no damage to the building or anyone inside. This neighborhood looks OK, too (no Tsunami here, no major damage). I do see a few cracked windows in other buildings, but nothing fell.
We had pretty much continuous shaking to some degree for the next 3 hours. Only once more strong enough to take cover.
Watching the reports on the news channels, I see scenes of horrific destruction along the northeastern cost, mostly from the Tsunamis. Several co-workers live in towns affected by the Tsunami, and I know that they are anxious to hear from friends and family members. So far, though, all good news.
My heart goes out to the victims and their friends and families. I have been fortunate...I might be inconvenienced a bit, but nothing to compare to what others are experiencing.
