On March 11, 2011, Japan experienced a 8.9 earthquake, which also triggered a tsunami. Originally the death toll was expected around 1000, but now days later the number may be at 9000 or higher. Many people are still missing at this time, the search will still continue.
Northern Japan has been devastated by these series of natural disasters, and there is no safe bet on what there is to come.
Radiation has began to leak from nuclear power plants, since power was cut off to the plants after the tsunami. Electricity is needed to keep the coils cool to prevent nuclear meltdown.
Since the first tower caught fire, many people have been evacuated while others are being ordered to stay in their houses.
As this story develops, the death toll will certainly rise, and if a nuclear meltdown does indeed occur, this series of catastrophic events will be the most harmful and awful thing i have ever seen in my lifetime.
