23. Namie is really getting socked

Jul 2012

I just read on the town's web page that road access from two adjacent municipalities has been completely blocked or severely restricted.

For example, this notice from April 2012 says that all prefectural (state) and local roads between Namie and Minami Soma City were blocked off and that the only access was through a check point on a national highway:

And this notice from just a few days ago says that even the national highway that was open between Namie and Iidate Village has been closed, so that there is currently no road access between the two municipalities:

The people who remain there must be having a really hard time coping.
