Hi folks,
The family and I are all OK, as is our house. We're in Sano, Tochigi Prefecture, where we got a real serious shaking (nearly shindo 6 on the Japanese intensity scale) but no substantial damage.
HobbyLink Japan and all its staff are fine, too...we spent the whole weekend putting everything back together.
Here's our boss's account of the quake (and a video taken during the quake):

We were indeed very lucky. Compared to the hard hit areas, we've got no problems.
Thanks to those who remembered me and for your concern!
