Good News!

Mrs.Paperboy spoke to one of the people running one of the evacuation centers in Wakayanagi again last night. Still no direct word about her parents, but apparently their part of town was not badly damaged and while there were a couple of hundred people injured, no fatalities have been reported in their area thus far. The guy she talked to said they still had no running water, gas, electricity or phone service (he was on an emergency satellite phone I assume) but that the electricity could be back on in some parts of town in the next day or two. The man at the evacuation centre said a lot of locals are spending the day at the centre - it has some heat and lights and some food and water is available- and then returning home to sleep. This is good news and is really helping us stay positive.


UPDATE!
Mrs. Paperboy is on the phone with her mother right now. Everyone is okay. Everyone go have a beer or six and celebrate, then send some money to the Red Cross. Thanks everyone for your concern and support through this difficult week.
