Earthquake and tsunami

As you've probably heard, there was a large earthquake and tsunami in the north-east part of Japan yesterday. We definitely felt a lot of shaking during the initial earthquake which lasted a couple of minutes (very long). Since then, we've probably felt about 7 aftershocks. The earthquake took place about 500km north of us and so that's where most of the damage has been. The nuclear station was affected was east of Tokyo (about 300km away from us) and so it seem like we should be alright. I'll let people know if I hear anything else.
