Japan Tsunami Current Event

At exactly 2:46 PM on Friday, March 11th 2011 a 9.0 earthquake hit just off the shore of Tōhoku, Japan. The earthquake has had devastating results on the Japanese people and has killed more than 9000 people. The tsunami has destroyed most of Japan's wast coast and has traveled very far inland. Tons of cities have been completely destroyed with results of leaving people homeless or, in many cases, dead. One of the other devastating results of this has been the nuclear reactor that could have had very bad results if it had not been treated. The nuclear reactor melted down and was close to being worse than Chernobyl. Since the earthquake has happened thousands upon thousands of people have been dead or injured. You can help save the people of Japan by donating to Convoy of Hope or many other organizations. 


Here is a video I found showing the tsunami:
