The 8.9 earthquake that happened earlier in the week did many terrible things to Japan. Flooding, Aftershocks, Tsunami, And now a giant whirlpool! The earthquake even affected the world. The earths axis got knocked 10 cm off and Japan moved about 9 meters from it previous position. Theres threats of nuclear meltdown from a power plant and a nuclear steam is escaping the plant as we speak, this was just a terrible tragedy all around for Japan and Hawaii
