That was really freaky. I'm living a few prefectures over from the epicenter. Was hiding under the table with the kids for a few mins while the world shook. Now we're stuck in our building as we are pretty close to the ocean and a big tsunami is coming. First big quake experience in my life and have to say its pretty scary stuff.
Some of those crazy dudes driving were stuck there when the quake happened and are probably scrambling to get to their families now, or escape a tsunami. Also the trains will probably be shut down overnight, so that makes the roads that much crazier. No reports of any fatalities on the news yet, but I hope everyone is ok.
