Fire and Flood in Japan

日本火灾洪水

Houses burn amid flood waters on March 11 after a magnitude 8.9 earthquake off the coast of Japan triggered a powerful tsunami.

3月11日，日本遭受8.9级大地震袭击并引发可怕海啸。灾难发生后，无数房屋被泡在洪水中，部分起火燃烧。

The earthquake—the strongest in Japan in 140 years—struck 81 miles (130 kilometers) off the coast of Sendai at 2:46 p.m. local time. A port city of about a million residents, Sendai was hit by tsunami waves up to 33 feet (10 meters) high.The earthquake and its aftershocks were felt as far away as Tokyo, about 250 miles (400 kilometers) from the epicenter.

当地时间下午2点46分，大地震袭击仙台沿海81英里(130公里)的海域。地震引发的海啸随即袭击这个大约100万人口的港口城市，海浪高度达到33英尺(10米)。这是日本140年来遭受的最大地震，距离震中大约250英里(400公里)的东京也感到震感和余震。
