This might be it. I don't want to lose my family. I don't want to die. My heart beats so fast. I just cannot believe it is actually happening to us. It feels like it's never-ending. But all I can do is send encouragement to the Fukushima 50 and pray for them. We have to believe that the Fukushima 50 will complete their mission and save all of us. I have to believe that every single man can come home to hug their wife and children who have been dying to see them. Yoshie Sherriff Abiko, Chiba Cakes My daughter, during the earthquake, was in her piano class.

The only escape route is via Yamagata airport in Yamagata Prefecture and accessible on the regular road. Yesterday on the way to Yamagata, we heard the news of the second explosion on the car radio.
