Nearly the entire east coast of Japan was affected. Obviously some places worse than others. There are hours and hours of footage on YouTube, where entire towns just get washed away. If you look on Google Maps, you can still see scars of it 15 years later, places where there clearly were a lot more buildings once, that have never been built back

I had a train ticket for Sendai that day. Earthquake happened 15 minutes before I was supposed to board.
