Nipponica

As regular transportation to the island had been cut off due to the quake, collapsed buildings and debris remain almost untouched, and residents are waiting for full-scale restoration. The about 50 people who sailed there Wednesday included evacuated residents and local government officials. After they arrived at the island, the residents began the hard work of cleaning up their homes.

This quake was so damaging to the region and it is surprising that it is taking so long to recover from it, especially after the massive quake yesterday causing little damage.
