SENDAI, JapanShe scanned the landscape of debris and destruction, looking
at the patch of earth where Japans massive tsunami erased her sons newly
built house so thoroughly that she cant even be certain where it once
stood.
.
Satako Yusawa teared up but pulled herself together quickly. Because for
the 69-year-old widow, there was this to be thankful for: Her son and his
family were out of town when Fridays monster quake sparked huge surges of
water that washed fleets of cars, boats and entire houses across coastal
Sendai like detritus perched on lava.
.
Thousands were feared dead from the quake and the tsunami, including more
than 10,000 in Miyagi prefecture, or state, alone. Sendai, a port city of
one million people, bore much of the brunt of the tsunami.
.
Yusawas son had borrowed a lot of money to build that house, and had moved
in only last month.

Mud-spattered survivors wandered streets strewn with fallen trees and
houses ripped from foundations, alongside smaller relics of destroyed
lives a desk chair, a beer cooler. Power and phone reception remained cut.
.
This is what it looks like when the earth shakes, the water comes and the
fires burn: Life is interrupted, reduced for hours and days to basic
survival. Conveniences, taken for granted in one of the worlds most
developed societies, become mere hopes for tomorrow.
.
Table saved him
.
Yoshio Miura, 65, was in his trucking company office when the rumbling
started, sending him under a table and dislodging heavy metal cabinets.
.
These cabinets fell down right on top of me, and luckily they were stopped
by this table, he said. Then came the watermassive waves that swept some
10 kilometers inland.

.
About 1,340 people took refuge in a school during near-freezing
temperatures. Worried relatives checked an information board on survivors,
some weeping, others crying and huddling in a group.
.
I am looking for my parents and my older brother, Yuko Abe, 54, said in
tears. Seeing the way the area is, I thought that perhaps they did not
make it.
.
Takako Koguchi turned 78 on Thursday. On Friday, hours before a planned
birthday celebration, she saw a wave of black water coursing through the
streets of the fishing town of Nakaminato, heading toward her.

Massive earthquake hits Japan
Boston Globe
[IMAGES]
.
An 8.9-magnitude earthquake hit off the east coast of Japan early today.
The quake -- one of the largest in recorded history -- triggered a 23-foot
tsunami that battered Japan's coast, killing hundreds and sweeping away
cars, homes, buildings, and boats. Editors note: we'll post more as the
story develops -- Lloyd Young (47 photos total)
