[real life] Nature's way of fucking us over

So my brother calls me at 1am in a panic because he heard an earthquake (and then tsunami) hit northern japan, and he wanted to know what part of japan my sister's Air Force Base is in

There's a person finder set up! Here you go! http://japan.person-finder.appspot.com/?lang=en

How would a person-finder tell me if a tsunami hit a particular city? o.0

if you were making a joke, it's not exactly funny.

I'm not making a joke.

You go to the website and enter in the persons name. If there has been any information given, it will tell you.

No results found. Either it can't find her, or she was never in their system in the first place. And the "confirm the safety of the person" cell phone number search only works if I knew her Japanese cell number in the first place.

Please excuse me while I have a mild panic attack.

Hope this comes through for you. It seems that the people on base are fine, save no power and being bundled up against the cold.
Now, just breath. hugs to you and yours

Aomori was hit pretty heavy, but luckily misawa was missed by the worst of it. I feel for the people in Hachinohe, just 30 minutes south.
