We were about a mile from the Muko river near the Naruo Hanshin station. My wife was teaching English at Mukogawa Women's University. We were in a modern building that had no damage, just a huge mess in the kitchen and all the furniture had hopped to one side of our apartment. An old wooden apartment building across the street fell down flat, killing two people. No water for weeks, but we had electricity. Quite the experience, yes.
Amazing. I used to teach part time at Mukogawa and have known several teachers there over the years including current, and those who have come and gone from Spokane. Small world!
