Japan always taught us to fear not the movement earthlings. The authorities said the slogan was repeated and every morning at work.
But the afternoon experience March 11, 2011 will never be erased from my memory.
Laborábamos, as usual, the company Shimotsuma-Shi, a city located about sixty miles from Tokyo in Ibaraki prefecture.
Suddenly the ground began to shake. We on the task, because that is most common in the archipelago.
looked at the faces surprised to note that the shake-up, instead of ceasing, increased in intensity and the lights went out.
Then we decided to leave and walk out tools into the courtyard, while the thud of this class of phenomena acted on the terrifying sound framework for these moments of terror.
Together with the heads, we all keep calm, but the first thought that crossed our mind was to run in the direction of our homes.
However, we have asked that we should stay on campus, while one of the "hanches" as they call the section chiefs, began to tell one by one.
Happily for us, we were complete and unharmed.
only after half an hour, we were allowed to leave, after reminding recommendations.
As we did, one of the coordinators managed to say:
- can go, but do not forget that still need to finish the order ...
In the car, heading home, I realized that the vehicles were traveling too slowly for safety reasons and traffic lights inoperable devoid of light.
Some
houses had collapsed, as many front walls. Many roof tiles covered the track that showed serious cracks and was sunk by parties.
At home I found that part of the two large water tanks that I have had fallen, and some books and small things that were in the upper parts.
Meanwhile in Trujillo, as always, after turning on the latop, in the early hours of the morning, I was petrified to read and follow the news of what happened in Japan.
The first reaction was to go to messenger and email to communicate with my son, but it was impossible.
Another alternative was the cell where, by necessity, must be marked with numbers about twenty server and everything. But nothing.
insist again and again, almost arguing with my wife. Blaming each other, as a clear sign of desperation for not knowing how to make the respective contacts.
At that time, we knew that light and the phone stopped working in the quake. It was not until ten o'clock (midnight in Japan) we communicate:
- Son. Are you there ...?
- Hi Daddy. All right. A while ago I just replaced the power in parts of the city. We were lucky.
As I listened, trying to get rid of the knot that had formed in my throat, while caught her breath.
Thus we learn that lasted all afternoon the blackout in the city. Just been restored to eight night, ten o'clock on Friday, when Peru.
The conversation went a little more lively. So she said that afternoon was to buy a mall that was packed with people.
Many things were on the ground, but even the slightest manifestation of vandalism. People picked them up, put them in baskets and went to the window to pay.
was only possible to pay in cash and in some cases, was collected by proxy, in order to expedite the service. Always encouraging the client.
purchases a subscription to backpacks, crackers, ramen soups (instant favorite of the Japanese), blankets, batteries, flashlights and portable radios.
Returning noticed that many people were not at home. Had come to the parks, school gyms and shelters identified in advance.
The dialogue is interrupted every five to seven minutes for the aftershocks that are repeated almost on a time clock and announced should last more than a month.
The situation is complicated that the country is in winter, it snowed a few days ago and the current temperature borders zero. So staying in the open is extremely painful.
Periodically, radio and television reports in several languages \u200b\u200babout the places you should go if there is a need to evacuate
seen images reveal a landscape bleak. Rubble and chaos everywhere is the common denominator.
are close to the one in the morning of Saturday 12. The soil still thrashing, but we must say goodbye.
- Good. And now, what will you do ...?
- I do not know if we can sleep with such reply. Do it anyway with the television on when to report an emergency.
- We'll stay at home as far as endure. Otherwise we have to go to a shelter. It is best to always be prepared ...
- Well child. We are in communication. Tomorrow speak. Beware enough. I love you ...
