It’s the third anniversary of the Great Tohoku Earthquake and tsunami of 2011. Hard to believe it’s been that long. I remember that day very well as if it were less than a year ago. I’m going to go back in time and show you my posts after this event.
On the day of the earthquake, I posted this short post, letting people know I was fine. The next day, I posted this quick update. On March 13th, I posted this long account of my day. If you read any of these posts, that’s the one to read. At the time, I was still doing my first Picture of the Week series, and I posted a picture of the supermarket shelves. On March 16th, there was an earthquake at Mt. Fuji.
After the earthquake, there was a lot of media attention, much of it about the nuclear meltdown in progress in Fukushima. The situation continues there, and it hasn’t improved. It turned out that both the government and the officials at the nuclear plant covered up the truth about what was really happening. I’m quite disappointed in how the government handled things. It’ll be a very long time until anyone can go into the affected area again.
I’d also like to draw your attention to a post I made on my writing blog, I Read Encyclopedias for Fun. It’s all about what an earthquake feels like.
