Tsunami Advisory

Today Lee and I returned to the office after walking home for lunch, and the elders asked if we had felt the earthquake.  No, we had not.  But they had.  It was the 8.0 earthquake near the Solomon Islands.  But a few hours later, I received a notice from the State Department that there was a tsunami advisory for the entire eastern coast of Japan.

******* Earthquake Information ********
Occurred at	10:12 JST 06 Feb 2013
Region name	SOUTHERN PACIFIC OCEAN
Latitude	10.9S
Longitude	165.1E
Depth	Unknown
Magnitude	8.0

All of the missionaries in the coastal areas were notified.  We have about 8 companionships in that category. But with a less than 20" tsunami coming your way, one has a hard time getting excited.  I'm sure it pays to be safe.

This is at least the fourth earthquake that Lee and I have been asked if we felt.  These are the kind of earthquakes I can handle.  I pray there aren't any bigger (or closer) ones coming our way.
