Fort Frances Woman Worried About Japan


A mix of emotions for a Fort Frances woman with ties to Japan.

Aya Sletmoen says the community she's originally from was hit hard by last Friday's earthquake and tsunami.

"I was so shocked. It didn't look like my country anymore," says Sletmoen. "Sometimes I was able to see my hometown on television and I'm just sad right now."

Sletmoen says, fortunately, her mother and sister managed to stay safe.

She's been in constant communication with them since.
