... better than having events like these....

The bookshelf on the floor (white woods) was NAILED on the wall on the right side - the power of the quake is to great. I wish I could show you the mess in the kitchen and living room where, according to mother, most of the dishes flew around, a few paintings fell and damaged, a few wooden and porcelain sculpture/ dolls fell off and broken - but they were all mostly cleaned up by her by the time I came home (on foot) last night.
Oh, no.... Heh, better than not having place to sleep, right?
I am okay, by the way. Mother is fine. Sister and her family is fine, too. But I hope for the best for those who suffered and those rescue workers to contain the damage.
Take care, everyone!
