Miyako and Matt, before and after
A few city scenes after the water subsided.
The water did not stop. This video shows it flowing violently, relentlessly through the small city of Miyako. We had no idea if Matthew had survived the earthquake or the tsunami. There was no power, and no way to communicate. After 4 days, we found him by messaging his Japanese Facebook friends, who contacted each other until he was found, alive and well, still in the Temple shelter.
