#Japan #Earthquake: 10,000 People Unaccounted for in Minami-Sanriku in Miyagi

(translating from Japanese source)

From Yomiuri Shinbun (3/12/2011):

10,000 people are still missing in a Miyagi town of Minami-Sanriku, whose pre-earthquake, tsunami population was 17,300.

Tsunami that struck Minami Sanriku came 7 kilometers (4.35 miles) inland. The survivors say it was more than 10-meter high (32.8 feet). An ocean buoy was found on top of a three story building.

This is what's left of the town (photos from Yomiuri Shinbun):
