Peninsula Work

We went out to a peninsula between Ofunato and Rikuzentakata to do debris cleanup. The house we worked on was only flooded, not otherwise damaged. The isthmus between the mainland and the peninsula, however, was totally wiped out. We also cleaned up the debris from one of their nearby rice fields.

We have a photo of the area taken from a nearby mountain on the mainland:



There was lots of debris including some heavy logs. Luckily, the farmer had a motorized carryall that we were able to use. It was inundated in the tsunami but still works.


Here is a panorama of the isthmus taken from the mountain the day before:
