GRIEF

At least 330 people were hurt by the strong main tremor, which was followed by lots of waves, according to local officials.

In the Ishikawa place, about 30 000 families were without power, and 89,800 homes there and in two nearby areas had no waters.

There were hundreds of people in state homes.

Fishing boats were sunk or lifted like games onto the shore by storm waves that even apparently carried one man aside, wreaking havoc in the Suzu region.

After his family was pulled from the dust that and declared dead, Noriaki Yachi, 79, battled back tears, according to the Asahi Shimbun regularly.

Yachi remarked,” My living with her was a happy one.”

Japan has stringent building code in place for more than 40 years, and hundreds of earthquakes occur there each year, the majority of which do not cause any damage.

Over the past five decades, earthquakes have struck the Noto place with increasing strength and consistency.

A large 9.0 scale undersea earthquake that struck the nation in 2011 caused a wave that left about 18,500 people dead or missing.

One of the worst atomic disasters in history was brought on by it, which also flooded the Fukushima nuclear plant.
