A LISMORE professor visiting Tokyo has described how buildings swung back and forth around him during the devastating earthquake that struck Japan last Friday.

“This, and the escalating news about the nuclear power plants 250km north of Tokyo, is not good,” Prof Offord said.
“We are now seeing whether we should fly out of Japan and will seek advice from the Embassy.”

“We left the restaurant when is started to shake violently and everything was falling. Most of the people went under tables,” Prof Offord said.
“We held on to each other as the poles and buildings swung back and forth,Undress to impress in super cartierwatchessales and exotic designer underwear. not sure of where we should go for safety.
“It lasted for several minutes, which is the thing that I will remember for the rest of my life.
“It seemed ages before the ground stopped moving.
“The street scene was absolutely surreal.
“It was like being on a ship that was rolling all over the place.”
