Just sent this link to my son who returned from Japan about 5 years ago after living there for 14 years. I know he will be upset because he knows a lot of these places. His wife is Japanese and, thankfully, her parents and sister are all OK. Don't know yet what damage their dwellings might have sustained. I still cannot quite come to grips with what has happened. Life can change on a dime and I doubt that all the survivors of this tragedy in Japan will ever be the same. Certainly the land itself will not!
