Rain sends people back to shelters in quake-hit Osaka area

A number of neighbourhoods around me were issued evacuation notices, but fortunately mine was not. At least that typhoon that was forming didn't hit.

I guess you are not living in the mountain area so it was not necessary. You said you already had gas? I thought entire Ibaraki was out of gas.

Btw they are handing out free portable gas stoves at the cityhall. 1 per household for anyone who is interested.

Abe promised to take care of those affected by the quake-the Osakans should give home a call.....!

Glad to hear you're okay Smith.

Papigiulio not all of Ibaraki is out of gas. The central part of Ibaraki has no gas, but they are repairing now.

Good move by Sharp. Sorry about their problems, but always liked their products and the sense of solidarity with Osaka.
