I'm worried about a Japanese friend I met in Florida. I see an earthquake has hit her area and I haven't heard from her for awhile and I fear the worst. How bad are things? How can I get info. I do not speak Japanese.

I do realize earthquakes are common in Japan. It's just that I call and no answer and we have been in touch on a regular basis for 11 months now and it is unusual that I get no answer on the phone and no email. I'm, probably, just over doing my worrying. Thanks for your comment. I appreciate it
