Kurihara - population of 80,000. Not just some small fishing village.

Seeing the size of the waves that roared through, I’m surprised only one town was destroyed. That was horrendous!
I’ve had to move my box of tissues to the desk. I got tired of getting up to grab another tissue, time and time again. This is just so tragic.
