Sakura Crying Again
Earth again showed his strength is mighty fierce.
An earthquake measuring 8.9 on the Richter Scale shook the Pacific Ocean, near the northern Japan at about 14:46 (Tokyo time) on March 11, 2011 yesterday caused a tsunami as high as 7 meters which wiped out mercilessly Miyagi prefecture.
Power outages occurred in almost the entire island of Hokkaido. The worst damage is estimated to occur in the city of Sendai, Miyagi prefecture, the region closest to the epicenter. Police said 200 to 300 bodies were found lying and floating on the northeast coast of Sendai. 547 people have been reported missing by their families and 798 people seriously injured.
Panic struck everyone as Japan's Meteorological Agency warned that tsunami waves could hit the entire coastal area in Japan. Magnitude earthquake off the coast with a force 8.9 Richter Scale earthquake which triggered the tsunami was as high as seven meters, followed by more than 50 aftershocks with the strength of an average of 6 on the Richter Scale for a few hours later.
What remains a mystery is the presence of an earthquake measuring 6.6 on the Richter scale that shook the mountains of central Japan - far from the epicenter of the first earthquake. It is unclear whether the recent earthquake has something to do or not by the earthquake that rocked the entire Pacific Ocean.
