Scene of almost complete devastation at Minamisanriku, Miyagi
Japan has now upgraded the quake to magnitude 9.0 on the Richter, which would tie it for the 4th largest quake since 1900. The township of Minamisanriku depicted above is probably the hardest hit, with nearly half the population missing and most of the buildings near-obliterated.
