Life after the earthquake?

[aquitori]

Just wanted to get some news back from people who have travelled back to Niigata. I know it's still early but I was just curious about:

1.What are the conditions now?
2.How are the breeders handling it?
3.How is the economy holding up?

Any news would be great....

I know Shintaro not too long ago made the trek back to his home to remove the snow load off the roof of his home so that more damage would not occur.

Roland from Toyoma Koi is back there now but i have not heard anything back yet. I know the end of next month Peter W. ( "Waddy") will be heading back to get the lay of the land.
