They've done a lot of cleanup in a relatively short time.
Hell, when I was living down in the USVI, there were still debris piles all over the place a couple of *years* after Hurricane Hugo.

The Japanese are VG at cleaning up....but they take forever (if it comes) to rebuild.

That last photo made me sad. :/ Glad to see the recovery process is under way though.
