The Devastation is Hard To Describe

.The tsunami had such terrific force. This house was not on the ocean front. It was a few blocks away
Most of the homes we saw this day were large and lovely homes 4 months ago.
This boat was quite a distance from the ocean.
You can see how lush and green the countryside is but this also shows how the trees are beginning to die from the saltwater.
Trees bent sideways with rubbish everywhere.
More rubbish which is found everywhere you look.
This is a common sight showing foundations to homes destroyed. It is hard to imagine that just 4 months ago families lived in lovely homes that stood on these pads of cement.
Gary and I took a little walk around the fishing village and this is what we saw. People are still living in the upstairs of some of these homes.
Piles and piles of rubbish. Where will they deposit all of this?
A wall to protect the area from water obviously wasn't adequate. There is still lots of debris in the water-floating and sunk to the bottom. I saw cars in the ocean and boats on the land.
