Still not really here, but since I came into work and saw the tsunami and earthquake in Japan on my newsfeed... is everybody okay??

(Also, if anybody knows/has seen newsbits on how things are going in Taiwan right now, I'd really appreciate some links; today is going to be pretty swamped & I won't be able to check in with the family until I get home.)

All the thoughts. &hearts

eta; some potentially useful things that scrolled by on twitter:
+ Live report, emergency numbers, list of public shelters, etc.
+ Google Person Finder: Japanese, English
+ a wiki

eta 2;
+ azuire: info on earthquake
+ help_japan
+ help_japan

eta 3; more via twitter:
+ An estimated 6.6-magnitude earthquake hit Niigata and Nagano. This is a new earthquake, not an aftershock.
+ Message & links from Yoko Ono at Imagine Peace

eta 4;
+ links from effex
+ George Takei's twitter
+ some other hopefully-useful tumblr reblogs:
- a note on the Red Cross's track record [though would appreciate corroboration]
- list of charities
- a very long list of liveblogs/livestreams, though many people have noted that Al-Jazeera is doing the best reporting out of the widely-cited non-Japanese news sources (*AHEM* CNN and your fucking Godzilla jokes, we are taking notes! >:E)
- somewhat-repetitive emergency messaging highlights from Timeout; includes useful information re: Suntory vending machines
+ TimeOutTokyo (twitter)
