My apartment building is about 2 blocks from the ocean, so it was a bit scary right after the big quake. But we've been very lucky and the waves here haven't gone over the barricades. By far the worst tsunami's have been in nothern Honshu, and my area is directly southwest of Tokyo. I can't see much cause I haven't left my place since it happened, but I've been glued to the TV here. Actually nobody around here has left or moved around since it happened, very quiet streets.
We're on the 3rd floor of a three story building so it seemed like the safest place to stay in the immediate area, especially after seeing people, cars and houses get caught up in the waves on the TV. The quakes happened fairly close to the shore and a lot of people up north didn't have time to get out of the way of the waves. But like I said we've been very fortunate here compared to many. Being an Alberta boy who is not programmed for earthquakes I'm having a hard time sleeping now haha. There's still little tremors coming now and then.
