With the loss of the Nuclear Power Plants in Fukushima Prefecture, Tepco, the power company in charge of Eastern Japan’s power, and the government have decided to do area wide rolling black outs for three hours at a time. This is because they can’t meet the electricity demand.
I’m not sure I’ll be able to go to work tomorrow and I’m not sure if I will be able to come home. Neither is Kana.
The government is going to have to do this probably until the end of April. This is not just affecting people in Miyagi and Iwate Prefecture. This is now affecting pretty much everyone in Eastern Japan. We just heard over loud speakers in the city about the details of the black out for Choufu. I can now hear speakers out in the distance relaying the same kind of information for different cities and areas.
These are crazy times we live in.
