Earthquake/Tsunami

[momofboys]

My oldest son's good friend from preschool/K & his family moved back to Japan last year (they are Japanese). We have not kept in touch with them (other than Christmas card). I e-mailed the mom but have not heard back but I am trying to figure out if they were in the worst-hit area/s? If anyone knows please let me know. They live in Tochigi in the city of Utsunomiya-shi. I am hopeful she e-mails me back. I can not find them on Facebook.

We have a friend that lives in a suburb of Tokyo, she is ok. I am thinking if they lived in the outskirts of the city, more than likely no electricity. Did you google map it to see where the city is located. I think the epicenter was north of Tokyo.

Here is a link from Google Maps that gives you an idea where that place is from Tokyo.

you will have to copy the name of the town/city in the search map, and it will come up. Scroll out to view in relation to Tokyo.

I was able to determine that they are more centrally located rather than in the NE region. Hopefully they are safe.
