Japan News (3/25)

Confirmed dead 9523 missing 16,067 -- over 25,000 missing and dead.
There's a short video of some people washing clothes in blue buckets outside a shelter in Iwate. What's funny to me is that the women are talking and wringing clothes by hand, while a middle-aged man in a group is trying, but grumbling about really needing a washing machine.
( But have you had a disaster recently? )
Two weeks ago, the plates moved, the earth shook, and tsunamis rolled across the north east coast of Japan. The loss of life and disruption continues to take a heavy toll. Still, it seems like northern Japan is starting to put things back together. I'm not so sure about Tokyo and that area -- the panics and fears that they are facing may be more insidious and harder to deal with.
