Ayah posting dari Earthquake-hit area

Ni sedutan dari berita kejadian tadi..

A STRONG 6.5-magnitude earthquake was recorded off northern Japan today, but the Japan Meteorological Agency said there was no danger of a tsunami.

The quake happened at 1.34pm local time off the Pacific coast of Miyagi prefecture, around the same area as the giant March 11 earthquake and tsunami.

The epicentre was recorded at a depth of 40km, agency data showed.

The US Geological Survey recorded the earthquake as magnitude 6.4, at a depth of 35km, about 126km north-east of Sendai.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries but the Tohoku Shinkansen bullet train service stopped operation due to the quake, according to local media.

The devastating March 11 disaster left about 22,000 people dead or missing and triggered an atomic crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

Memang masa 1:34pm tu ayah baru je naik teksi so takde lah rasa apa2. Dapat tau pun sebab driver teksi dapat SMS alert untuk earthquake. Dia terus buka radio dan dapat tau gempa tu baru je jadi 2 minit sebelum tu. Radio kata maybe tsunami. Dan Jepun2 ni kata biasanya bertita kat radio tu 100% accurate. Terasa gak masa tu darah takde kat muka. Memang ayah suspen teringat AMS dan mama kat rumah tapi yakin ayah dalam lindungan tuhan. Bila ayah sampai kat kilang Iwate Prefacture ni ada 5-6 orang yang tengah berdiri kat luar kilang, standby. Alhamdulillah tak ada apa2 lepas tu.

Tapi masa tour line kat kilang tu Jepun2 kat sini tunjuklah gambar2 apa yang jadi kat production line masa 11 Mac nye earthquake hari tu. Banyak gak kereta2 yang terpaksa di buang sebab rosak masa gemba.

Tapi memang nak cepat tinggalkan kawasan ni. Pagi2 esok akan naik Shinkansen balik ke Tokyo, transit dan lepas tu sambung ke Nagoya. Total naik Shinkansen 5 jam kut.

Penat hari ni dan semalam masih tak hilang. Apa taknye, keluar rumah pukul 2pm hari Jumaat. Transit kat Singapore. Bertolak dari Singapore ke Tokyo pukul 9:45 mlm. Tapi dlm flight tak boleh nak nyenyak. Sakit badan. Sampai Tokyo, tukar train 2 kali sebelum naik Shinkansen. Sampai kat Kitakami, pekan yang macam ghost town ni pukul 11:30pg. Pukul 1:30pm dah naik teksi pegi kerja.

Signing off from Kitakami town, Iwate Prefacture, around 250km from Fukushima (Leaked Reactor).

Miss AMS and mama already.
