Great East Japan Earthquake

Great East Japan Earthquake, also known as the Tōhoku earthquake, struck off the northeastern coast of Japan with a magnitude of 9.0. This catastrophic event triggered a massive tsunami that inundated coastal areas, causing extensive flooding and damage. In many towns and cities, the powerful waves swept into streets, homes, and businesses. Water rushed into shops and houses, submerging buildings, and destroying property. The force of the water displaced vehicles, shattered windows, and carried debris far inland. The tsunami left a trail of destruction, displacing thousands of residents and resulting in a significant loss of life. The event also led to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, compounding the tragedy. The resilience and recovery efforts of the Japanese people in the aftermath of this disaster have been a testament to their strength and determination.
