Japanese Earthquake

I'm sure you've heard about the 8.9 earthquake which occured Friday, March 11, 2011 the largest recorded in Japanese history. The earthquake caused massive 13 foot thumanis which swept across the shores of Northern Japan pushing cars, boat, buildings and debris miles back into the main land. Think about it, if all of those objects could be pushed back that far think about how many people were pushed back with the water as well?

After the earthquake hit thousands of houses went up in smoke.

Thumanis flood homes, airports, road ways and many other areas leaving thousands of people stranded with nothing.



Up to 300 bodies ahev been found on the beach in Sendai, with another 110 found dead elsewhere. The death toll has been predicted to rise significantly once a full assesment of the damage is done. 530 people are reported missing so far and 4 million people are without power.
