  1. That one was pretty intense. So many of houses had either the ground floor or second floor completely quashed while leaving the top floor intact. The damage was so much that it took a very long time to clean everything up, so train-rides in that direction were surreal for a long time. I have a vague memory of getting drunk somewhere near Kobe about a year after, and exploring a ~5 story building that was left destroyed in the middle of a busy entertainment district. The whole back wall had cleaved off the building

    Secure heavy things to the wall folks. My neighbor was visiting Kobe and died from a tansu coming down on her
