Okay, so today is March 11th. Three years ago today, there was a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and a tsunami with waves over 30 feet in Japan. Over 10,000 people have been confirmed to be dead, while many others are still missing/presumed dead.
If you haven't guessed, I am Japanese. I live in the United States, but most of my family lives in Japan. When the tsunami happened, Kesennuma--my nother's hometown and where a lot of my friends and family live was where the tsunami hit first. Not only did they experience an earthquake and tsunami, they also experienced a massive fire. My relatives lost their home, and my cousin had o be rescues via helicopter.
I understand that this probably doesn't have much to do with you guys, but it means the world to me and everyone in Japan. Watching my favorite places destroyed on TV was honestly the worst experience I've ever had. Imagine what it was like for the people who experiences the natural disasters.
Although this incident isn't covered by the media anymore, it's still not over. People are still struggling, people are still suffering.
I've made it my life goal to spread the word about the tsunami aftermath, that it's still not over. I've even hav a book published online about it, although it's badly written.
So it would be very much appreciated if you could take a moment to acknowledge the losses experienced three years ago, and the hardships that people are still going through today. It's not over just because the media doesn't cover it.
Thank you for your time!
