3/15/11 Events in Japan


 Japan, one of the most important counties, has had an earthquake, and then, caused by the earthquake, a tsunami. Lots of people have died so far, over 1,000 have died, and they expect that toll to raise to at least 3,000. The earthquake, registered as 9.0, caused major damage in most of the country. if it had just been the earthquake, things would have turned out much better, but the earthquake caused a Tsunami, a high tital wave, which hit cities such as Sendai Japan.

 Many people all over the world, including myself, have friends or family in Japan, creating nervousness and worry all around the word for them. For example, My own friend, Daichi, who was born in Sendai Japan, and moved here when he was eight, has an older brother who was in Sendai at the time. At this time, there's been no word from him.  Another friend, Seno, was also from Japan. While he currently lives in Another country, his family is in Japan.

Japan is also a place where a great deal of imports come from. Electronics, matierials, and the like. The US is not the only place affected by this great tradegy. 

However, they are already rebuilding. Hopefully, everything can go back to close to how it was before. All we can do now is offer one of our greatest allys our support and all the help we can.
