Just saw a story about a story about a 60-ish yr old man found on the wreckage of his house 15km out in the ocean.
He was running to get away but went back to his house to get something and got caught in the Tsunami surge and then swept out to sea. He was waving a small flag but none of helicopters or ships saw him until mid-day today.
I keep warily following the news of the reactor troubles hoping they get it under control.
There was a run on bottled water in our area (near Shimokitazawa) and most shops were low on supplies of bread and water. I guess as a result of the various rumours about the nuclear risk a lot of housewives were snapping up the kombu which contains a lot of iodine. I was told that the drug stores and pharmacies do not sell Potasium Iodide so they are all buying the dried kombu seaweed. I agree that the rumours circulating are not at all helpful.
Not as many tremors today.
