Northeast Japan has felt dozens of aftershocks since the 8.9 tumbling upheaval. Nature has unleashed her fury as the shocks were felt across Japan. The earthquake was not in the same location as the earlier quake although no immediate damage has been confirmed.
Police have reported 200 to 300 bodies have been found in the northeastern coastal city of Sendia, as this was the closest to the epicenter. This comes hours after the massive wall of water plummeted through cities that weren't expecting the ravaging water to devastate their cities.
Large waves hit Japan's shores, the large fishing boat and other vessels were forced to ride the high waves ashore. The force of the wave was so forceful, there were cars submerged in the water as if they were in a large tub of water. To see the pictures, it almost seems surreal, yet the reality has only started to sink into the men and women affected by this natural disaster.
The tsunami made its way across the coastal cities taking whatever was in its path back out to sea. From cars, to homes, to other debris - it left no prisoners. As the water began to subside, flames burst out of home. This was probably from the gas pipes that burst. As night fell, thousands were left without power or homes as they struggled to survive in the freezing temperatures of Tokyo.
With 178 confirmed to be killed, another 584 still missing. Police have also reported that 947 people are suffering from injuries. Japan will continue to uncover the hurt, dead, and missing throughout the next few hours and days. Time is the only thing that can bring back normalcy to these distraught people.
