LATEST:Tokyo hit by 8.9 mag earthquake and 10-m high tsunami

Not to worry - we are surrounded by lands and shallow water or so say the experts I remembered. In theory, our highest tsunami height if have would only be 0.5 mtrs!

a lot of people are stranded in Tokyo tonight, unable to go home as trains have stopped. -
The locals are always mentally and physically prepared for earthquakes and tsunami as these are part and parcel of their lives. The kids were taught from young when to do what an earthquake happened.
In addition, each family always stores some food just in case.
The death toll will rise. -

The Japanese will come through this. I remember an ex-colleague telling me how his parents walked for 2 days to get to the disaster site during the Kobe earthquake to help the victims. All the roads were closed to traffic and the only way to get there was to walk. And many others are doing the same. That's the beauty of a society like Japan.The locals are always mentally and physically prepared for earthquakes and tsunami as these are part and parcel of their lives.

Had anyone been through an earthquake before? I've lived in earthquake prone areas but never encountered that.
Just to share about the triangle of life in case anyone find yourself in such a situation. I'm not sure it works but worth knowing. It's probably safer than hiding under a desk. There may not be anything we can do to save ourselves in some situation.
