I was in Japan on the day of the earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. I was in a building when the ground started shaking. I saw people running into the streets in panic, and I heard loud sirens and the sound of breaking glass. I felt terrified and helpless. Later, I saw huge waves washing away houses and cars. It was a shocking and frightening day.
