Earthquake at 11 March 2011 in Sendai

As you know, The severe earthquake occurred at 2:46 p.m. 11 March local time in Japan. I was in Sendai and the earthquake location is also near Sendai. Many people took photos to remember this natural disaster and to draw on our own experience (photo records taken by citizens, Japanese site). I also took photos at Tohoku University and I show some photos for the future.

It is my house (Ochiai, taken at 3/12).

Near my house. Many stone was falling (Ochiai, taken at 3/12).

Glass window was broken (Oritate, taken at 3/14).

Many china was falling and broken (Tohoku University, taken at 3/14).

A heavy bookshelf fell down (Tohoku University, taken at 3/14).

A television moved about 3 meters. Fortunately the television did not fall down (Tohoku University, taken at 3/14).

It is my room. I was in here when the earthquake occured (Tohoku University, taken at 3/14).

The power went down for (fortunately only) three days. I could see scattered stars in the night sky. But it is difficult to take a photo without a tripod (Ochiai, 3/13).
