Rikuzentakata
The coastline has been totally reshaped. A long
barrier beach with well-vegetated land is almost
completely gone. North of that flood water sits
on agricultural fields. A 6.5 meter high sea wall
was overtopped by a 13 meter high wave, 80 of
8,000 houses were swept away. Over 18,000 lost
out of 26,000. The harbor gate failed to shut
and 45 firemen where swept away while attempting
to close them manually. http//www.youtube.com/wat
