An Update from Japan – A Young Woman’s Personal Account of Tragedy and Loss of Life

She mentions planning on "going to Sendai" and seems to be writing from "back home in Tokyo".
The reactors are between those areas.
'Course, we have no idea of when this was written, perhaps she left for Sendai before the radiation zone spread.
