Tsunami discription

Tsunami Report

I am coming live from Japan with action. Firstly, I heard people crying, babies screaming and kids worried for their parents, it doesn’t stop there...

Then there was a huge tsunami that came with his friends busting down the people of Japan’s homes and shopping centers. I saw cars crashing and buildings reemerging up from under the sea.

Next, I smelt smoke coming from the swamp of terrifying danger. It kept on going for two hours.

Lastly, The people of Japan were heart broken and afraid because they didn’t want to die. I felt for them and I had to to do something about it, so I packed my bags and went
home and told my friends to donate.
