Ian and I paired together go with Martin in search of a some fishermen and their stories. As we got closer to the shore the scence became one of complete nothingness. Nothing left at all just flat land or pools of water. Everything here had been ripped up and washed inshore. We met a couple of fisherman down by the shore – one who was at sea who came back to find everything and one lost and another who tried in vain to save his family. These stories are recounted again and again by the survivors. Terrible.

From a vantage point of the first floor of a house that’s still standing – just.
Again in the same area, another boat lying where there were once houses.
