“Giant Tsunami Hits Japan And Sweeps Houses And Cars”

The ReadyWriter

More than 160 people are feared dead after a giant tsunami wave rolled across Japan sweeping homes, cars and debris with it early this morning.

The victims thus far, include 100 passengers on a cruise ship that was swept away by the tsunami. Shocking images of the carnage dominated national and international headlines this morning.

In the photo above, a small pleasure boat became trapped in the center of a gigantic vortex created by the tsunami. The boat went under water taking an unknown number of souls with it.

According to The Daily Mail, the Japanese declared a state of emergency at a nuclear power plant in Fukushima after the 8.9 quake caused the cooling system to fail. Massive fireballs caused by explosions at an oil refinery scorched the sky.

A tsunami is formed when an earthquake shifts the ocean floor hundreds of miles out in the ocean. The pressure from the shifting plates creates a ripple effect in the water that gathers strength as the giant waves roll out from the epicenter toward land.

A receding tide is usually the first sign of an approaching tsunami.

  3. Japan is in my prayers. So is Hawaii and other areas included in the tsunami watch.

    I have a close friend who was supposed to be in Tokyo on business. Thank God some things fell through last minute and he’s home.

  6. “Police said 200 to 300 bodies were found in the northeastern coastal city of Sendai. Another 88 were confirmed killed and at least 349 were missing. The death toll was likely to continue climbing given the scale of the disaster.”

    4. “And every mountain shall be moved.” The Bible speaks of many earthquakes happening but this is not the ‘great earthquake.’

      (May the ire of Mother Nature put fear in the heart of man so that war is no longer an option nor an issue.)

      “And the mountains will cry out there’s no hiding place here.”

      God have mercy on our souls.

      Morning family.

        This ain’t just “another earthquake” so please don’t just dismiss it as another day in Japan. This is the 7th most powerful quake recorded in history and the largest to hit Japan in over 100 years. People take notice, Earth is changing!!

      4. Thank you! People, ignorant people always try to convince themeselves sh*t is all good all of the times. The world is changing, and for the worst. Take notice. Japan has it’s worst quake in years, and people say “oh well it happens.” Tsunami’s are about to hit Hawaii and the West coast of the USA, this winter was the worst in years. These climate changes should open eyes. Get ready for a catastrophic disaster.

  29. I just wish for those people that survived blessings. I hope they are able to recover from all this. I can imagine how I would feel if all my stuff gone and I have to start over. But they survived though. I guess you can get another house and clothes.
