Japan Earthquake

A devastating earthquake hit Japan on March 11, 2011 the other day and some say it was as worse at hurricane Katrina.  It was an 8.9 earthquake biggest quake that has ever hit Japan. The quake caused buildings to collapse people to be trapped under buildings not found, death toll is still rising as more people are still being found. Then after the earthquake was done, it caused tsunamis to be caused and they traveled from Japan to Hawaii and the coast of California damaging those coast but Japan got the worst of it. The tsunamis caused building to collapse and people to be washed up and drowned and  debris and cars to be taused around like paper, those people that have drowned got washed up on sure as the water is starting to retreat a devastating 1,000 got washed up on sure. The earthquake lasted 5 minutes as buildings and structures just got destroyed right into to the ground. After shocks were just at worse with 403 aftershocks as big as a 7.7 earthquake which is a huge quake in common and Japan got 8.9, the aftershocks were as big as the Haiti earthquake if not bigger. The death toll keeps rising and the clean up continues as buildings collapsing, landslides, tsunamis, and aftershocks just destroyed the country of Japan. People are helping all around the word including the U.S as not just Japan needs the help but nearby coast that got destroyed by the strong and at some 33 foot high tsunamis. Also due to the water and the power of the tsunami the electrical plants are starting to explode causing more death and destruction. There is a long way to go with the clean up and those people still fighting for their lives as they got no shelter, food, and or water. This earthquake will never be forgotten, due to the devastation it has caused!
