| ![]() It is hard to imagine how Japan can deal with an earthquake, tsumani and possible nuclear disaster. It is just unreal. Thanks for your concerns and thoughts, I was so lucky. I did lose a lot of vegetation, a fence & gate into the ocean. If it had been a foot higher it would have gone thru my house. We are all still in a state of shock.

I am sorry for the damage done to your property. How scary to come that close to having your home wrecked! ![]() The poor people of Japan. The pictures are heartbreaking. ![]()

| ![]() I'm still somewhat shocked about it all. Evacuating with dogs at night really got my adrenalin pumping. Tried to stay calm, pack some important things in the car (but not too much), computers, hard drives, a few valuables, etc. and they say to take enough food & water for 7 days. Shelters don't allow dogs here, so I was faced with living in my Nissan Murano SUV with 4 doggies if I was unable to reach my upcountry destination before they closed the roads. I was somewhat prepared for evacuation, since I had to do it last year in Feb. But this time was harder because I was in bed with a bad cold & fever (thank God I didn't take any meds that would have made me sleepier); it was dark, my cell phone was working only sporadically, roads were jammed with people trying to get out, or forming long lines at gas stations, and news on the radio was totally insufficient. Arrggg. As my head clears and nerves settle down, I want to process it all and think of how I could do it better *next time*. Emergency preparedness is so important for ALL of us. I'll start a new thread about that, and we can all share thoughts about being prepared for emergencies. And yes, many prayers to people in Japan.

| ![]() It will take awhile for you to unwind. So happy you are ok and your home is fine. Sorry about your plants and fence.

Sounds like you are back home again (or at least I hope so) and all your pups are doing well.

oh wow... I am so glad you are ok. and that the evacuation was not worst!! I feel your pain!! I live in Miami and was here for Andrew. We did not evacuate because we waited too long and we would have been caught on the road. We were lucky that the eye passed south of us.. the radio and phones were working so I was listening to people calling in as their house were riped to shreds. sorry... just having a flashback ![]() But a title wave is more damaging.. at least we had a bathroom to hide in... like I said.. so glad you are ok

| ![]() Sandy, it's so good to hear that you and the pups are okay. I have been thinking about you. I couldn't live that close to the ocean. You are braver than me, that's for sure!

| ![]() Thanks friends ![]() I'm still processing it all and have some workers here cleaning up debris and broken fence, so I can put new fence in. Tiki escaped and went on a wild run over a rock slope and up the coast---places she has never been allowed before, barking at surfers. The normal waves could have swept her away, and I'm not ready to do an ocean rescue. Arggg. But I have no reason to complain, especially when I see the devastation in Japan. Praying for them all the time.
