Thank you. Do you know if there is any word on Sendai eki/downtown Sendai?


Aside from the airport being inundated, and the farmlands being flooded, I haven't heard much specific...

From one natural disaster area to another, Japan is in my thoughts. I hope everyone is OK - we recently had some Japanese USAR crews down here helping look through the CBD, they were only replaced (by Thai USAR crews) a week or so ago. They'll have come home and now have to roll out for this one, I feel for them.

Twitter rumors are circulating that the Japanese media is reporting 10,000 dead, any confirmation or hinting at this from any news source?

Last report from me for a while.

Sendai has been hit hard around the Natori River. Nothing specific. The JSDF will be dispatched as soon as all ships are ready. And yes, the team just coming home from New Zealand is heading up.
