On March 11 at 2:46 in the afternoon a devastating audible earthquake hit Japan measuring an 8.9 magnitude that was later brought up to be 9.0—people are still feeling aftershocks. The most powerful Japanese earthquake since records began, triggered a massive tsunami just 250 miles from the capital—Tokyo. This proceeded not long after the large tremor. Taking everything in its path with it, a copious mess of debris covers the ground making it hard to find survivors. Adept Japanese soldiers have been deployed all over japan as well as contingents of rescue teams from around the world to find survivors. But it is feared that up to 100,000 people could have died. Everyone is trying to help with things like rescue dogs that can detect people hidden under in capacious spaces.
A Japanese nuclear power plants pressure has exceeded normal levels. People have been told to seal and stay in their houses along with power cuts to save energy. Risking health of anyone near it—scientists are trying to find ways to cool it and are worried that fitful explosions might take place.
Although the sky is an azure blue, the ground is covered with everything and anything the tsunami caught. It is crucial for everyone to hope for the best.
