Japanese Disaster Relief Fund / Boston


quote
Report from Onagawa
We have received an e-mail from Peter Grilli, President of the Japan Society of Boston, who is currently visiting Japan.
The following report is written by Peter from a town called Onagawa, which is located northeast of Sendai City.

The town is gone. All that’s left is a dank, acrid-smelling wasteland with a few concrete buildings standing five-stories high but utterly in ruins with debris hanging out of what must have been windows looking out to sea. There are concrete buildings that have been entirely overturned and are now lying on their sides. The sky was blue yesterday afternoon, and the gentle sea lapped gently at the town’s beaches and port area, giving no indication whatever of its ferocious power when it had roared through the town in waves 50-feet high or more.
