Power Outages Scheduled for Tokyo, Other Parts of Japan

From Neal at NICOClub:

“Just checking in with you while we still have power.Starting this morning (Monday the 14th), Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has announced there will be scheduled power outages in several major prefectures including Tokyo, Chiba and Saitama.

My city will be shut down from 3:20pm-7:00.

It supposedly will be a daily occurrence from now till sometime in April.

We are still getting aftershocks almost 3 whole days later. It’s mind boggling. Last night was the first night I was actually able to get a restful sleep. Friday night and Saturday night were just to tense.

We are all ok, still, and trying to get some semblance of a life back.

I am off to work later this afternoon, because I have to make sure we have money should something happen and we need to haul ass.”

It will likely be several months before business returns to usual in Japan, and for the towns with thousands lost or dead, it will never be the same.
