大地震Major Earthquake

Today, at 1446 local time, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck off the eastern coast of Japan, approximately 80 miles east of Sendai.

本日、2時46分、M8.8の地震がありました。震源は仙台の東、約130キロ。

I am fine. Didn't even notice anything here in Kyoto. However, it's looking like there are going to be a lot of people who aren't going to be "fine". Exact casualties are difficult to pin down at this point... there are at least 200 deaths reported now, and that number will likely increase as time passes.

僕は大丈夫だ。京都で何も気がつかなかった。でも、死亡者とけが人が多い可能性が高い。正確の数はまだ不明だけど、死亡者の数は200人以上で、多分これから増える。

My heart goes out to the victims of this tragedy.

皆さんが大丈夫と祈ってる。
