I read about the terrible tornadoes there in the U.S.

Tokyo is about back to normal, though we did have 9 earthquakes today of magnitude 4 or greater. Two were greater than magnitude 5.

The big problem right now is about 140 miles north of here. They are still searching for people lost in the tsunami. I know over 300 people were killed in the tornadoes in the midwest, but right now the death toll from the tsunami is over 15,000 with over 12,000 still missing. So the final death toll will certainly exceed 20,000 or 25,000.

The nuclear reactor will still take 9 months to cool down and shut off if they don’t run into more problems, and they are working 24/7 on that. After that they will probably bury the whole 80 acres.
And of course there are still over 100,000 people in evacuation centers. And because of radiation scares, agriculture in the area has been wiped out. People in evacuation zones can’t even pay movers to come in and take their stuff away.

So there is still a lot going on. It will probably take 10 years for cleanup and rebuild and some people say it will take as long as 30 years to completely cleanup the reactors.
