cnn s brian todd is in kamaishi. tell us about getting into that city, brian. reporter: getting in was treacherous. we had to go through the mountains and the roads were icy and the weather turned, i wouldn t say suddenly, but it turned dramatically today. heavy snowfall most of the day and made the roads almost impassible when we got here and when we got to the city devastated and another inlet that came into this city were just crushed for blocks and square miles at a time. the snow and the rain before it made for treacherous conditions on the ground but also on the houses, on the crushed houses, on the rubble, they kind of blanket the place and makes it very deceptive for the rescuers to step in certain areas. it s a treacherous stepping in any condition. this made it even more dangerous. so they had to navigate through all of that.
