I managed to get a hold of my brother, who lives and works in Tokyo. From what I can tell, he's fine, as is his home. I can't tell to what extent the area around him was damaged. When I last visited him in October, he lived on a hill, so perhaps if a tsunami did come crashing through the area it wasn't too bad. Everyones been talking only about Sendai and that Nuclear reactor thingy so its a bit hard to garner details on the rest of the country.
From what I can tell, he has moved back into his home. Theres little food in the area, and the power seems to be sketchy at best.
Not everyone can say the same in Japan these days...
What does he do?
