A collection of my tweets from the 9th March to 16th March 2011 (starting from the bottom 9th March's fore-shock—main earthquake and tsunami happened on the 11th). One viewpoint from Tokyo, Japan.

At the moment it feels like a decision between the news and the official line. Which is more trustworthy? We need a middle road.

Basically the situation is bad. But the danger is only for those in the vicinity. And sensationalist reports don't help. At all.

Possibly quake was closer to Tokyo. rather than being larger than other aftershocks.

Large aftershock woke me up. BBC incorrectly cites USGS for size and location. USGS is slow to update. Quake was short but sharp.
