The biggest earthquake

Yesterday, the biggest earthquake has struck the north of Japan.
When it occurred, I was in a office located in the central Tokyo.
I could not sit in front of my desk. I saw the crack run the wall of the office.
The quake was more than I could imagine.
The decision was made that all employee were to go home with free taxi ticket.
But once I was out of office, no taxi was found only with many many people were walking toward their home.
All public transportation stopped operation.
So I had also decided to walk toward my home, more than 30 km from the office.
While I was walking, I saw some people buying bicycles but other people walking without talking, still no taxi of cource.
After 3 hours, the car of the woman's farther in my group came and picked us, I was lucky.
But traffic jam was terrible. Eventually I was at my home 6hours after leaving the office.
Though I was lucky, I was wondering if other guys in my office could go home in safe.

If the quake like this hits the central tokyo, I think I am not the one of men to survive.
