On March 11, 2011, there was an earthquake in Japan at 2:46 p.m. This was followed by a huge tsunami. The scientists said that this was the third strongest earthquake recorded. They were right; the Richter scale facilitated the scientist´s job by giving them information about the quake.
The magnitude of the earthquake was 8.9 and the tsunami caused copious amount of water to come in the city of Sendai. The water did not decelerate until destroying most of the city.
This was a crucial event in history. The citizens of Japan had to grapple with the destruction of the city, they had to search through the debris to find there love ones. The adept, highly trained dogs have been deployed around Japan trying to find bodies through the debris.
When I heard about this, I felt a pang of sadness. The destruction of the earthquake and tsunami preceded the damage to the nuclear reactor, which now is threatening the Japanese people.
After a fitful sleep, the azure of morning appears in the city of Sendai. The fastidious rescuers start searching right away, looking carefully through every inch of debris. They are looking for survivors, but the screams for help are barely audible.
The capacious shelters in Japan are full; there are many people without a place to live. The refuges are full of innocent kids, who banter with each other as if nothing has happened.
