To Jobon no Sato

What did you do after evacuating to the parking lot?

Konno: After the shaking stopped, I didn’t head home right away, but stayed with the people I work with. But I was worried, so at nighttime I tried to go home, but a ship had been flipped over on the road to my house and was spilling oil everywhere, so I was stuck. But I did walk to Jobon no Sato (a nearby rest stop).

So then from Jobon no Sato, you started walking towards your house again.

Konno: The reason I didn’t go home right away is because I was waiting to see if it would be possible to go home. I went to Jobon no Sato for the moment, but it was full of cars. There were already people sleeping there, so I couldn’t stay. The electricity was off and it was completely black, and I didn’t have any food.

Then night came and there was no way I could get home because it was dark, so I went back to the factory where I work and slept there. I thought it would be better to go home in the morning.
