I hope this map helps everyone to better understand where we are in relation to the Earthquake Epicenter (Orange square) and all of the Tsunami damage. We are located in the bottom left corner of this map. The large island at the very bottom is Okinawa. We are about 1,130 miles from Tokyo. That is why we didn't feel the earthquake or get the major part of the tsunami waves.
We did have some friends that were evacuated during all the Tsunami warnings. We still have not heard any reports of damage to anyone here. It is hard to follow local news, it is in Japanese! CNN is our source of information and when the base releases any official warnings or information (which is minimal).
