The aftermath...

All we can do is sit and wait.

The advice is to go somewhere safe, and stay there. That is what we are doing. We are at home and we are together.

Yet somehow, this doesn't feel like enough. I know it is keeping our lives out of danger and that is right, but it feels so weird and helpless.

Just up the road in Miyagi, there is so much death and destruction and despair. all we can do is watch the news, and wait to see how soon the positive outcome will happen.

There might be a power cut tonight, so that electricity will reach the north.

All we can do is sit and wait.
