This is a picture of the area AFTER the quake and tsunami.
This video was taken by a survivor of the town when the tsunami suddenly swallowed the area.
The next morning, the area was left flooded and still is.
1,800 houses which used to be in the area were all destroyed.
Troops of the Self Defence Guard are searching for survivors.
On 15th March, the fifth day after the disaster, a 78 year old woman was rescued form a destroyed house. She was living alone.
Half of the town is located within the 30km radius of the Fukushima nuclear plant and survivors in the area have been advised to stay inside of their houses. Some of them have left the area.
In evacuation centres in the Fukushima prefecture, people have been glued to the TV, anxious to know the progress of the desperate efforts at the nuclear station.
They live in strong fear of radiation contamination.
It is freezing cold outside. In some areas, snow is settling. Even inside the evacuation centres, heating oil is running out, and the survivors are trembling in the cold.
