Devastation in Japan

Have you heard of the gigantic earthquake, followed by a devastating tsunami in Japan?
Well, it started with the 8.9 earthquake about 75 miles off Japan's coast. It didn't do much damamge to the buildings because Japan's builders are "professionals" in building. They have to be because there are many big earthquakes in Japan. If the stuctures are not well built, they would have to rebuild the same buildings over and over again. So when the earthquake hit, the people were not worried. But, then the tsunami hit. That gigantic wave caught the Japanese off guard. It destroyed many homes and killed many people. Then the tsunami traveled halfway around the world, slowly dispersing itself into the ocean. It then reached Hawaii at low tide, with a wave of 3 feet. After, it reached California's coast at low tide, with a wave of 2 feet. I feel relieved and happy that we didn't get hit by a big wave. But, I feel very sorry for the many people who were killed. I hope the rescuers found the surviving people and helped them
I want to help these people by donating money to help rebuild some homes. What would you do to help?

To help Japan, I would donate money as well. Imagine if California got hit with an earthquake as big as 8.9 and a tsunami followed after. How devastated you would be, but if people gave you support with money, clothes, blankets, etc, how touched you would be. You would know that people cared for you. I want to give the same feeling that's why I want to donate money and send mail saying that you were so brave.
I would donate money to Japan so they can buy things which they need in order to survive.

I would help by donating money to the Red Cross and let them decide what the Japanese people need. I feel sad for them and for the people who were killed.
To help the people in Japan I would donate money to them and write letters of comfort. In addition to that, I wish them safety, good luck,and hope that things will end well for them.
I will donate money since I don't know what the Japanese need. If I donate blankets, they might not need blankets. So the best thing I could do is to donate money and pray for them. Nice post, Angeline.
Wow! That is a scary disaster.Good thing many people are doing fundraisers for Japan. I would also like to do fundraisers and build homes. I might also help make paper cranes for good luck.
I would help by donating money to help.
Well first I would give out iadion pills to the plant. Then I would give out a lot of money but sadly I do not have the attention and help. Great post!!
What I would do to help is give money to the Red Cross so they would help Japan.
Donating to the school's Japan Relief Project could be a start. Also, Japan has a problem with nuclear power plants. Nuclear power plants make electricity by splitting uranium atoms, which are radioactive. A leak in the plant caused radiation to leak out. This radiation is harmful to people near the plant, but not to people all the way across the Pacific Ocean. So, no need to panic!
I would donate them money. I wouldn't give them what they want because they might not need it.
I think that there are not many ways you could help besides donating money or making stuff to make people in Japan hopeful, like paper cranes and posters. I think you saw but I donated about $30 in class! I really want to somehow support Japan so I think hope or money is a good start to what you could do. Anyways nice post.

I would help the people in Japan by donating money, that will help to rebuild homes and to provide food and water. I could also help to make 1,000 paper cranes for them, as there is a saying that the people who you give the paper cranes to, will have good luck.
Great post Angeline! I also feel bad about Japan's horrible tsunami and earthquake. We are very lucky it didn't happen to us.I will donate money to the Japanese people so they so they can rebuild their houses.
I would donate like you, send good thoughts, and pray that the Japanese will be okay.
Angeline, I think I agree with you. I would donate money, but not only for homes. I would donate money for hospital patients, schools, and for any damage done to the city. I know I can't do all this at once, all by myself, but... hey, small drops can create a big bucket! All of us should pitch in to help Japan as we would want people to do if this had happened to us. Nice post Angeline!
I would want to help by trying to raise money from the Red Cross savings for Japan.
Yes, the earthquake and tsunami in Japan was totaly devestating.
The best we can do here in America is the donate supplies like canned food, blankets, and money.
One surrvival story I saw is a women and her husband were in their house when the tsunami struck. When the women opened the door a blast of water flooded the house. She then hung on to a tree in her backyard the whole time to avoid getting washed away.
I would donate money to Japan and as much as I can because they do not really deserve to have such a tragedy and there are some people missing and some of my friends family lives there. I guess if you have experienced almost something like you would feel more sympathy. For me it would be empathy because nothing really like that happened to me.
I would donate money, give food, and send letters to Japan.
I feel really bad for Japan, especialy for the people who have died. To help them, I would donate things that I don't need and some money from my allowance.
