We all know what happened in Japan and even though the recovery is still in process, many of the families lost their loved ones and homes. As of today, the death toll reached 12,157 and still rising. 15,496 people are still missing, but according to some officials, the missing numbers will most likely be the number of people who died by the earthquake.
According to usgs.gov, a magnitude of 4.0~6.0 earthquakes occurred 15 times on March 28th, 2011 in the east coast of Honshu, Japan. Probably at this moment or in an hour or so, another earthquake might be hitting Japan and thinking about this catastrophic situation almost every day makes us worry even more. We, the staffs of Night-Import, want to wish the best to all the people in Japan and hope the disaster ends as soon as possible.
Many of us are seeing the news on TV or paper and the only way for us to help is by giving donations or creating a fundraiser event. For automotive enthusiasts, the best way to donate was to create an event and there were many throughout this past month. In SoCal, Joshua Urquidi decided to throw an event at Hompa Hongwanji Buddhist Temple in Little Tokyo, the parking lot right behind the lot that was used for NISEI week. Tons of people were participating online and as expected, the day of the event had a turnout bigger than one can imagine. Personally, I would say this was the biggest event after Hellaflush 5. Cars that usually don't come out to shows came to this event to support. According to Josh, the event raised $4,677!
The main lot was half filled by 1pm and some cars were outside to wait for others. It was good to see everyone being cooperative.
