I got this message this morning from Jimmy Ohnishi, the Rickenbacker brand manager based in Tokyo:
Today big earthquake hit Tokyo.
Even though all transportation still stop, however disaster looks to be minimum, I think.
I'm okay, so you don't worry so much.

Some of the footage I've seen looks pretty awful, especially of the tsunami.

No danger here in the San Francisco Bay. Surges of 1 to 2 feet only.

Worse yet I read of a nuclear power plant damaged and could melt down.

They said it was a Hydrogen explosion and that it was the walls of the building that had exploded not the reactor. I hope they're right.

It's just heartbreaking to see the news videos of the aftermath. Really puts things in perspective, and makes you thankful for things we can sometimes take for granted. My thoughts & prayers go out for those affected by this terrible disaster.
