Japans Disaster

A double disaster has hit the country of Japan. An Earthquake has struck causing people to lose their homes.The people in Japan were all in terror. Another force of nature struck after the earthquake, A Tsunami. It engulfed off the coast of Japan.

The Earthquake was 8.9 magnitude on the Richter scale but surprisingly didn’t do much damage to buildings. Japan is used to earthquakes because they are on the fault line and houses are built to resist earthquakes.The epi-center was in the off the coast of Japan When the plates moved, it created a tsunami.

The tsunami was the disaster that teared Japan apart. The waves measured up to 10 meters destroying everything in its path. Buildings are every where were scattered over the ground like toys.

Nuclear plant explosions are one of the many dangers for the people that live around them. People that live around them, have been evacuated to places that are far away from the plants. Many are staying in malls, and are worried about their friends and family.
