ADA Gallery closed this weekend....

had two quakes there about 2-3 hours ago.....6.7 magnitude.
and landslides.
 
ADA have said that the only problems they have had is a little 'spilt water'. - as the ada tanks and cabinets are built to endure situations like earthquakes.

- how true that is i dont know, i would rather buy a tank knowing it is built to take me crashing around in it and moving objects than it being shaken around buy a quite rare earthquake that doesnt happen in every country. failed 'advertising/propaganda' here.
 
From ADA USA -

We have received many emails and messages today from concerned customers about Aqua Design Amano HQ in Niigata, Japan after the earthquake strike. We would like you all to know that everyone at ADA is okay! They reported only "a few drops of water" as a result of the earthquake. Fortunately all of the aquariums and stands built by ADA are designed to be resistant to earthquake tremors, resulting in no damage.

Strange thing is that we do not know if any damage caused by the morning earthquake under Niigata. Hopefully not.
However i also got an email from ADA this morning. - This was a few hours after the local earthquake:

It was scary and terrible!!! :'( After the yesterday's earthquake, the water in the tank jumped out the gallery was flooded.
We decided to close the gallery for the weekend. We still have been having quite few aftershocks but luckily are all OK, but it is a serious disaster in many of the places in Japan.
We expect it will take a long time to get back to normal life.

The thing that's annoyed me most about the Japan coverage is how people over here are making it personal by saying how "terrified" they are or trying to make it about their non-turmoil at knowing it happened and seeing pictures of it. We live in Britain, we're safe, this isn't about you and never was, you should never have been asked as part of the "news" coverage, opinion isn't news, show some empathy at least, one woman I saw on BBC didn't even say how devastating it must be to the people actually involved, she was more interested in saying how devastated she was at seeing the footage while eating her breakfast and scared about the same thing happening to her.

My thoughts are with those who have lost loved ones and those who've lost everything.
