I'm still waiting to hear from my relatives. Most live near Tokyo so they should be okay. I do have one relative living an hour south of Sendai though. My hometown of Yokosuka is south of Tokyo..they had some damage and lots of shaking and also had tsunami evacuation order as its a port city. The US Navy is stationed there and they reported that the USS Carrier George Washington which is over 1000 feet long and over 40000 tons moved off the pier due to the waves. The water had receded 6 feet at the pier. And closer to my current home...Santa Cruz just over the mountain had some boats damaged by the tsunami and up north near the Oregon border in Crescent City the entire pier got wiped out...just like it did back in the 64 Alaskan quake.
