Tsunami in Japan

Horrible tsunami in Japan

            On the very sad, horrible day of March 11, 2011, a 9.0 earthquake rocked the country of Japan. This was the biggest earthquake in the country of Japan’s history. It caused a gnarley tsunami to hit Japan as well. This only made everything worse. This has been a crazy, devastating event that the families and the people of Japan have had to go through.

            Because of all of these terrible events happening, the nuclear plants in Japan have been going through devastating times. They have been exposing radiation in to the air and in to the oceans. The other day they found radiation that is harmful to the citizens of Japan, in their beef. This has been a major scare across the globe.

            The day this terrible earthquake hit Japan, I was vacationing with my family in Maui, Hawaii. I was leaving the day it happened and we were so very glad. We got out on the flight safely. About 2 hours after I left the island, they starting getting very nervous because the earthquake caused energy inside the earth and they were expecting tsunamis in Hawaii and on the pacific coast of California and Oregon.  I flew from Hawaii to California. So it was still a scare in California, because of that, we were still kind of nervous about it. Luckily, we got out in time before anything intense happened.

            A lot of scary, horrible stuff has been going on in the country of Japan.  We know that eleven thousand, seven hundred, thirty four people have died. Also two thousand, seventy-seven people are injured and sixteen thousand, three hundred, seventy five people are missing. This is very scary stuff.

            A lot of this is due to the tremendous after shocks of the earthquake. The first one was at 7.0 and the second one was a 7.4. This resulted in a major tsunami that devastated many families and towns. The tsunami was rocking through cities, buildings, towns, cars, and roads. It had as much dubree in it as the Great Wall of China. That is a lot of stuff rolling through the country. It ran nearly 6 miles in to land. This is an insane statistic. The towns kuji and ofanto got swept away with no trace that towns were ever there.

            This was the biggest earthquake that ever hit japan and it is a very devastating time for their country. I hope that all goes well and I hope that they will recover soon.
