Shakes and Waves

I just wanted to update y'all (9 pm Friday evening our time) on this earthquake/tsunami. We didn't feel anything or even hear anything really until about 5pm when we were told to evacuate (there were trucks driving around the neighborhood with announcements). Caden, Zeke and I went to a friend's house inland and once we heard it was all clear, we headed back home. Brian's surf buddies and our awesome neighbors looked out for us and kept us updated. They said the tsunami ended up measuring at 1 meter down south in Nanjo and not being much of anything. PRAISE THE LORD.

It's kind of surreal to watch the crazy video of everything going on to our North. The death toll keeps rising and watching the devastating footage breaks my heart.

Rest assured, we are fine. Thank you so much for your concern and prayers! Please pray for those in mainland Japan that are effected by this! We'll keep you updated if anything exciting comes up.
