幸いにも家族は無事でしたが、ニュースなどで各地の大変な様子を見ては信じられない気持ちです。
アメリカに来る時に、何かあるとしたら自分の身に起こるだろうと勝手に思っていましたが、故郷の方に一大事があるとは思いませんでした。
少しでも被害が少なくすむよう祈っています。
I found that there were severe earthquake in Japan after I got up this morning. Fortunately, my family is fine, but I was shocked at the catastrophe reported by Japanese TV news.
When I left Japan for studying abroad, I prepared myself that something dangerous might happen to me during my stay outside my country, but I did not think that this disaster would happen to there.
I hope the damage caused by this earthquake to be held minimum.
