I was near Tokyo Bay on March 11, 2011, when the earthquake occurred, it was a terrifying experience. The structures were shaking in an unpredictable manner and I could hear low grating sounds coming from inside the buildings, mixed with the sound of kitchenware and bathroom items falling. I was concerned for the safety of my family members and whether they were inside the tram, and each minute felt like an eternity. After the shaking, there was no access to water, electricity, internet, or phone signal, and I anxiously waited for news at the evacuation center. It is heartbreaking to watch the news about people suffering from the big earthquake and I pray for the safety of the people in Turkey and Syria. #earthquake #pray-for-Turkish-and-Syria-people
