Tsunami devastation, two years later...

The Atlantic published a series of interactive photos showing tsunami-devastated areas of Japan in March 2011 & 2013.  So much work has been done, but there is still much to do!  Please pray for Japan!

The Atlantic writes:
"In a few days, Japan will mark the 2nd anniversary of the devastating Tohoku earthquake and resulting tsunami. The disaster killed nearly 19,000 across Japan, leveling entire coastal villages. Now, nearly all the rubble has been removed, or stacked neatly, but reconstruction on higher ground is lagging, as government red tape has slowed recovery efforts. Locals living in temporary housing are frustrated, and still haunted by the horrific event, some displaying signs of post-traumatic stress disorder. Collected below are a series of before-and-after interactive images." To see the images, click here
