The Terrible Devastating Bad Tsunami In Japan

On the very very sad terrible day of March 11, 2011, The nine point zero under sea earthquake was a terrible thing that happened to Japan. It caused a devastating tsunami that killed many Japanese people. They were not that ready for the tsunami so it made things worse. They were all shaken up and hurt and scared by the earthquake so they didn’t see the tsunami coming and it hit them very hard.

            I think that it is very very sad all the things that are happening to the people in Japan. It has hurt many people and ruined many things there.  I think that it would be  an awful thing if the people in my family died. I would not know what to do if that ever happened to me. It would be a terrible thing to lose your loved ones and almost everything you own and your house and things. I would not be happy at all.

            Right after the tsunami happened I was planning on going to Hawaii. I was very scared that I was going to not be able to go to Hawaii with my family on a very fun vacation. I was scared that if I did go the there might be a little tsunami and everybody would get hurt. Lots of people were talking about the earthquake and tsunami and it scared me to go to Hawaii because every body was making a very big deal about it. My parents were scared of going because they thought that they would get radiation poisoning and all of us would get radiation poisoning but that was just my parents being their normal scared nervous selves and freaking everybody else out. We ended up going anyways and there were no problems. Nobody got radiation poisoning and nobody in Hawaii did. There were no small tsunamis and we had a great time anyways.

             I was also very scared for the people in California and on the west coast because there were rumors going around that they were going to be hurt bad and maybe a tsunami was going to hit them. Everybody was very scared and then they identified the plantation that got destroyed from the earthquake and tsunami that there was radiation poisoning and they might get affected from that.

            I am very glad that it didn’t hit Tokyo, the tsunami,  because that would be bad because of all the huge buildings there. It is still very bad that it hit Sendai and all of those Japanese countries but it would have been very much so bigger if it hit Tokyo and that area.

            According to Tōhoku Electricc Power , around 4.4 million households in northeastern Japan were left without electricity. It would be terrible to not have power for a very long time. I could not do so many things if I didn’t have power and if everything was destroyed. It is bad when the power goes out here for just a couple hours. I could not imagine being without power for that long. It is a terrible thought. The National Police Agency has officially confirmed 11, 362 deaths, 2872 injuries, and 16,290 people missing in Japan across 18 places. These numbers are expected to increase as the time goes on and as they keep finding bodies and things like that. To end, I would like to say that the U.S. should help the japanese because it is very bad there. I am sure that if something happened to us they would step up and help us out.

Hawaii Day 7

Today we went to DT Fleming beach. It is the best beach I have been to yet. The waves are sweet for surfing. THe waves are also sick for boogie boarding. We stayed there for a long time. It was the best day at the beach.

Hawaii day 6

Today we went to the beach at our condo and slept in late. We went surfing again and it was very fun. I got a lot better and it was more fun than the first day. Nothing else was too exciting about today.

Hawaii Day 5

Today we woke up early and drove the long way to Hana. We stopped at Costco first and ate lunch and then we watched the surfers at the North Shore. Then we started the drive. It was very pretty but boring as heck. We saw some cool waterfalls and things on the way. Then we went to the hike to the 7 Sacred Pools. We got there and read the sign wrong and went on a different trail. It was supposed to be a 1/2 mile and we realized it was the wrong trail after about 1 mile and 1/2. It was late when we started so it was getting darker the whole time. We went through a sweet bamboo forest for about a 1/3 of it. We got to the water fall at the top and swam in it. On the way down it was pitch black. Probably the darkest hike I have ever done. In the bamboo forest when the sun is out it is way dark, so when the sun wasn't out and we were in the bamboo forest I could barely see where I was walking. We made it down and drove the long road home and went to bed.

Hawaii Day 4

Today we learned how to surf. It was very hard but fun also. I think that it is a lot of work for not very much time of actually riding a wave. I would choose to snowboard, longboard, or skateboard over surfing without hesitation. It was still very fun though.

Hawaii Day 3

Today we went to costco and ate lunch and bought tons of groceries. Then we just hung around our condo. We went to the beach at our condo and swam a little. We went for a little hike to a blowhole and that was very fun. We watched a lot of basketball.

Hawaii Day 2

Today we all slept in a long time because of the different time change. When we woke up we went down to the beach and hot tub and pool. We then went to a store to rent snorkeling gear for the week. We also rented 2 surfboards and a boogi board. We went back and ate lunch. We then went to Black Rock beach to snorkel. We stayed there for about 3 hours and jumped off the rocks and things. Then we went home and went to sleep, after watching a lot of march madness basketball.

Hawaii Day 1

This day was a very very long boring day. We woke up at 5 and drove to Vegas to catch a plane. We caught the plane at 12 and flew to Los Angeles. We stayed in that airport forever and caught the 6 PM plane to Hawaii. We arrived at 9 Hawaii time, 1AM in Utah. We then had an hour drive to our condo and I finally went to bed.
