I just watched one of the latest CNN reports on a local village on the northeast shores of Japan where there was once a small fishing town. A local described how the bay there suddenly began retreating to the sea leaving about a half mile of mud sand and emptiness. Then suddenly a roaring sound began to fill the air, and within a few seconds they could see the waves coming in with increasing hight as the noise got louder and louder. The people ran terrified trying to get out of the way. The village was on high ground behind very large Tsunami walls made of concrete surrounding the entire bay that reached hights of 20 feet or more and were at least two feet thick. The citizens never expecting that tsunami waves would ever reach much higher. But they did wiping out the enitre town in just a few minutes.

Since no one believed that the water would ever reach that high no one had evacuated. There is no way for a vehicle to get there now with roads destroyed, and even walking was extremely difficult for the film crew to get into the town. There is almost nothing left, and the stench of human decay fills the air. It was earily quiet. There were no footprints in the snow leaving no signs that anyone had gone there to look for survivors a week after the quake & tsunami had struck. It was a horrible site to think that this place had been left with no chance for survival, and no attempt for rescue had made it that far. A village forgotten now gone from the face of the Earth with all of its history destroyed in the ruble of whats left. The few who managed to run to higher ground in the chaos just sit sobbing waiting for help to come. It never came. No where to go in the freezing cold. No heat, no food, and no water to drink they are dying.

Sorry, I just had to share what I saw.
