Lions and Typhoons and Earthquakes, OH MY!!!!!

Konichiwa all,
Thank you for the concern and multiple emails regarding the earthquake and typhoon that recently struck Japan.
Fortunately, the typhoon hit Toyko and the islands South of us. By the time it got to Northern Japan, it was mist and fog for 4 days but not much else.
There were 2 earthquakes. The real big on (6.6) was South as well and we didn't feel any effects from it. The one in NW japan that affected the power plant was still about 200 miles away from us. Suz woke me up on our first night in our new base town house (Monday night) because we did have about a 2 minute mild earthquake. It was barely noticeable.
This area gets about 10-12 earthquakes a year. The last real serious earthquake and typhoon to the Misawa area was well over 20 years ago.
All is well otherwise. We will be without internet for a few days while our phones and such get set up.
Take care and keep in touch.
J&S
