You may know, or guess by my username, that I live in Japan.
In the last 48 hours we have had over 300 earthquakes, with over 50 measuring more than 3 on the Richter scale.
Fortunately I'm not at the centre and my property isn't damaged by many, many families are not so lucky.
Do a Google search for images from the Kumamoto earthquake, you'll see. Meanwhile have a look at this, see what I mean?
So sorry to hear this Jap. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone there. Stay safe.

Horrific, Japaholic - and they are usually the cause of tsunamis in their wake. I cannot imagine what it is like to live in an earthquake zone and live day to day with the knowledge and then cope in the aftermath, whether affected physically or not.
I'm glad your family and property are safe - keep your friends close and keep well.
Thanks ladies, I'm grateful for my ablation, you can bet your ass these quakes would have triggered my AF for sure!
Good to hear from you. We hope stability swiftly returns, although it will be the start of a new era for so many people.
Our prayers are with you all in Japan
I hope you and yours stay safe .
Thinking of you out there Japaholic . Hope you are still keeping clear of the tremors. Glad to hear the heart is behaving still .
Best wishes

I am thinking of you and your family Japaholic and hope that all stays well with you. All those involved are very much in my thoughts and prayers. Anne x
So sorry about this awful news, I'm very glad you're safe but my best wishes also go out to the poor people who have been badly affected by this. Take care.

My son and his family live in Saitama City north of Tokyo and I always worry when I hear there are earthquakes but I think they are out of your area. Best of luck to you!
Yes, they are way off. Still in Japan no one is totally safe.
There's a lot to be said for the Yorkshire Dales! Good luck Japaholic...
Our thoughts are with you all .. Take care
Wishing you and family and everyone in Japan strength and fortitude to recover from this terrible blow. No words are adequate to convey my heartfelt sympathy.
My prayers are with you and with all the people of Japan who have suffered or have relations and friends in the earthquake affected areas.
Today we've had a load more, five quakes over 5 on the scale in the last hour. It is really quite worrying.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I live in California and we fear that those horrific quakes are heading our way. Stay safe.
Would like to come off rivaraxaban
AF advice has been invaluable, but the forum is too often off topic
Things about AF you would like GPs to know
Don't know where to turn...
