Just fine here! Thanks for asking and thinking about us. Linda felt the quake but I was outside walking and didn't notice. We live about 300 miles from the epicenter.
In 1995, we were about 25 miles from the epicenter of the 7.1 that killed 6000 in the Kobe area. That one was rough!Last edited by leehljp; 07-17-2007, 08:20 AM.Hank Lee

That was probably a Toyota parts plants that shut down. On occasion, there is one plant that supplies parts that shuts down and it affects everything.
A few years ago, a specialty glue factory caught fire and shut down for several months. Turns out that most all major chip production factories for different brands from throughout Japan depended on the glue factory and stopped all production.
Their conundrum: Diversify through several plants for specific parts to prevent this, or put all the eggs into one plant for stricter quality control and production fluctuation controls.Last edited by leehljp; 07-18-2007, 06:00 PM.Hank Lee
