My heart is breaking for the people of Japan. We lived there for four years. I love the country, culture, people. We lived at Atsugi Naval Air Station a little south of Tokyo. Also nearby are Yokota Air Station, Zama Army base, and Yokosuka Naval Station.
The military bases have so far been spared! However, a 6.4 quake was recorded earlier today SW of the original quake. This is NOT an aftershock. It is a new quake. Many are fearing that it will be like the other quake, a smaller quake that is before another big one comes!
And of course, the military bases around Tokyo and Tokyo itself is under a warning because of the radiation levels. The levels are placing everyone on a warning not to go outside. Please keep my friends in your prayers. We still have quite a few friends that are over there!
I have been praying for them every day.
