 Lulu Japan Tsunami of 2011 Title: Vast devastation, search for survivors after Japan quake Date of article: 3/12/2011 Source: msnbc.com and news services Author: The Associated Press and Reuters

 The horrible tsunami in Japan turned the northeastern coastline into a swampy wasteland. The tsunami was 23 feet high. It killed 413 people. 784 people were missing and 1,128 injured. The tsunami had an earthquake before it, therefore making the tsunami the after effect. As the people tried to run for cover the tsunami hit. More than 400 customers at one point lost power in Tokyo. The tsunami, destroyed everything in its path. It carried cars, homes, and other things out into the ocean. Many fires had occurred afterwards too. After it hit, some people decided to spend the night at 24 hour cafes. The Japan tsunami and earthquake of 2011 was the biggest to hit Japan since they started keeping track in the late 1800s.  This event is connected to science because the tsunami and earthquake are nautural disasters. You have to find out what causes these disasters. This disaster was caused by the Earths plates rubing together. I learned that people not only do people die from these natural disasters but that they can go missing too. I also learned that earthquakes and tsumanis could happen in the same place, not necessarly on opposite sides of the earth.

On March 11, 2011 a deadly [|Tsunami and Earthquake occurred in Japan]. Within minutes, very powerful tsunami waves sets as high some even got all the way up to 33 feet. Tsunami waves moving at speeds near 500 miles per hour. The violent thrust on the sea floor and the water column above the quake, generating a powerful tsunami. This was a horrible event lets see how the will approve this. The powerful [|tsunami] was to powerful for the Japanese people. Japanese people were prepared they had saving tools like drills but it did not work. Next time the Japanese people should consider going away if they knew about it and going to higher ground. Also what is important is if they had FEMA and read about tsunamis knowing they live in a tsunami place.This advice could possibly save some people.
