Earthquake Diary 101

 Still walking along the main road about 3 kilometers east of home, I found a group of houses that had almost all been damaged - more blue tarps.
epairs are being made to a bridge in the middle of the rice paddies,
 It is hard to see in the picture, but look carefully at the line of windows in the building in the middle. The right side sags enough to see, Also the little sun roof over the windows has shifted substantially. Standing there, seeing this in 3D, made the damage much clearer. It was bad enough that I would be surprised if the building is still being used.
 The land in front of this has collapsed and was being repaired. I could not tell if there was any damage to the house or not.

The little building in the middle was almost completely destroyed. All the doors and windows had broken and the walls were now at angles.
