for two days.” Like many other residents, all of Ms Nga’s furniture was covered in mud,
some was completely damaged for having been soaked in the water for too long. But what

A magnitude-9.0 earthquake, also known as the Great East Japan Earthquake, struck in the
Pacific Ocean off the northeast coast of Japan’s Honshu island on March 11, 2011. It was

the most powerful earthquake ever to hit Japan and the fourth largest ever recorded in the
world. The earthquake triggered a massive tsunami that flooded more than 200 square
miles of Coastal land. Waves estimated to be as high as 38 meters, the height of a 12-story
building, tore apart Coastal towns and villages, carrying ships inland as thousands of
homes were flattened, then washed tons of debris and vehicles back out to sea. Damage to
the reactors at TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant then caused a third
disaster, contaminating a wide area that still forces nearly 100,000 residents to live as


evacuees. Tsunami waves also swept across the Pacific, causing damage or disruptions in
Hawaii, California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. Casualties from the
earthquake and tsunami in Japan may be 30,000 and close to 500,000 people were forced
to evacuate. More than 125,000 buildings have been washed away or seriously damaged;
property damage is estimated to be more than $310 billion.
