Ishinomaki Town Center - Debris

Ishinomaki Town is pretty ravaged by the Earthquake and Tsunami. By doing a short walk (5 min), we found numerous debris around, and even fishes on the floor.

It was a pretty fruitful day. There was however many people displaced from their homes because there was still no electricity, water and heat in homes. The city has cleared all the main streets and is restoring power and water soon. There is a planned meeting with city hall people and a walk to the disaster area tomorrow. There are incredible photos to be uploaded.
