People in Japan are still cleaning up, a full week after a magnitude-7.4 quake shook much of the nation.
Hundreds of homes were damaged or destroyed in the earthquake. It left three people dead, and more than 200 others injured.
Workers are still trying to repair critical infrastructure. The powerful shake forced a bullet train off of the rails.
East Japan Railway says it could take nearly a month to fully restore service.
Some people in the Northeast are still without water, with no word on when things will be back to normal.
Several power plants remain offline because of the earthquake.
When temperatures dropped earlier this week, the government warned of power outages in the capital and beyond. That has been lifted. But people are still asked to conserve electricity.
