Fukushima itself? I haven't heard lately. As for the disaster:
<snip>
"11 March 2011.
Though eight years have passed, this day continues to hold a special meaning for us.
My m.u. used to have a business with an office/apartment in Tokyo. Many many friends in Japan. We happened to be up late that night and saw the tsunami live on CNN as it happened, horrified.
Phones to Japan didn't work... but texts did. Texts got through always, phones were overloaded, just like they were in NYC on 9-11, we couldn't make calls but could text.
Finally contacted friends and their families, all were fine, though some of them lost family members in the tsunami area. Plus some of my favorite sake breweries were damaged, ones that were hundreds of years old. Even if they are back in business now, I wouldn't drink any of their products made in that area, it's just not safe from radiation effects, though they're not talking about it much.
Sigh.
'Night all.
