Well it looks like the earthquake that hit here was made quite public in the international community. Japan was hit very hard and there are several communities that were completely obliterated by the tsunamis as a result of Japan`s largest ever recorded earthquake. We felt it in Niseko which is a very, very far distance to feel such a powerful release of energy. From what it seems there have been a lot of people who have lost everything and I plan on trying to fit a few days in before I leave trying to volunteer to help them cope with this extraordinary loss. We saw several large convoys of national guard troops going down the highway to meet and I will update soon as I get to a less volatile source of internet.

So the mess just keeps getting worse with the looming disaster of a nuclear meltdown in Fukushima. Everyone is hoping for the best, but something of the meltdown could be catastrophic. Luckily we are far enough away, but there are a lot of people in the direct path of the disaster.
