This is a collection of stories gathered from survivors of the March 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent Fukushima nuclear disaster. The collection was put together in the immediate aftermath of the quake, so while the full scope of Fukushima was not known, most were still in the throes of the apocalyptic reporting of the world press.

The vignettes are powerful. Or moving. Or disturbing. Or any other adjective of which you can think.
