We and our family are OK.

A big earthquake hit northeast Japan on 3/11 2:46 pm
The earthquake hit Tokyo as well, not as hard as the Sendai/Aomori area, but very strong.
Northeast Japan has been hit really hard with this earthquake and Tsunami, devastating.

All trains have completely stopped yesterday night, at evening rush hour.
I walked 15 miles home...

The Pacific rim may be in an active state, with earthquakes in NZ, Japan, and volcano becoming active in Hawaii.
