Japan news (3/23)
Mar. 23rd, 2011 03:18 pm3/22
They're opening up the main highway through Tohoku, northern Japan. Apparently it's been cleared all the way up to the northern parts. They are asking people to let the trucks and supplies go first. There's also warnings about the lack of gas and gas stations, and that roads towards the eastern coast may not be there, or at least not be in good condition. They recommend getting a up-to-date map including warning conditions from the web somewhere. I have to admit, anyone who has been watching the news at all should know that the roads aren't good and gas supplies are shaky, but I'll bet some people will go in without enough preparation anyway.
( lots going on... )
You know? Japan is creaking, JIT is showing some strains, and so forth, but... they've got nine-year-old kids folding newspaper cranes, other people figuring out whatever they can do, and little old ladies busily cleaning. It is going to come through this, too.
