It was not easy to get around Tokyo today as the trains were unpredictable with some lines not operating or running at 25% of normal. The local grocery stores were very busy with lots of empty shelves and some stores were closed.
There is no sense of panic and the idea that there would ever be any looting/crime is not at all likely or plausible. People are just dealing with it.
We saw reports of people in 100m line ups waiting to get into the train station and similar lineups for taxi's.
Very tough to watch as the tsunami affected areas don't have enough medicine, water, food and warm shelter.
