Also consider the many current aftershocks over hundreds of miles which are disruptive even with the populations knowledge of minimising exposure to earthquake tremors built up over many years. A relative on internet camera to Yokohama was able to see a picture move on the wall yesterday during a tremor.
The people are stoic and likely to rebuild in their prefectures (counties) and far from being refugees. The Fukishima radioactivity adds another dimension which has yet to be played out but the shortfall in electricity meant complete suspension of rail travel in the Tokyo region, perhaps national, on Monday and leaves many without heating in icy weather.
I`d like our government to help in specialised areas where the normal Japanese capacity may be overwhelmed such as patient recovery from severe burns and amputations and the fifty men trying to tame the reactors may require the best treatment available too.
