Hokkaido Earthquake Tragedy

A quick sad post here: a 6.7 magnitude earthquake struck the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido early Thursday morning, the quake hit around 3 a.m. local time, southeast of Sapporo, at a depth of about 45 miles, killing around nine people, more than 350 people were injured and 30 others remained missing according to the Associated Press report. The earthquake triggered a blackout, cutting off power for 5.3 million people. Officials said it would take a week before power is fully restored, as they contended with damage from the quake. I'm showing you this because of some anime I know took place there like Saikano, Erased, Beautiful Bones, and Noein. I pray for those who lost their lives in that region and the ones who are struggling to survive without food, water, and power. I found this news from this article.
