The devestation is Bad and the news doesn,t even give credit to the pain and suffering this great nation has endured ,watch this clip and think there by the grace of god goes i.
As news emerged today of yet another earthquake striking Japan, terrifying new footage from the original March 11 earthquake and tsunami shows the brutal and deadly power of the water that has claimed thousands of lives.
Filmed from the top of a building in Kesennuma, around 300 miles north-east of Tokyo, the footage shows the surge of water cascading over coastline barriers around Kesennuma Bay as a tsunami alarm sounds.
It quickly turns into a furious torrent of water, sweeping everything away - including cars, ships and buildings - as it forces itself inland.
Soon the wall of water is moving with incredible speed and rising fast - the barrier that had once looked like a mini waterfall is now now merely a ripple as the tide flows over it.
A storage building with a green roof in the middle distance of the shot begins to disintegrate under the immense force.

The camera pans to the right and focusses on another part of the city. Water can be seen flooding surrounding streets and buildings in the distance are being washed away as smoke rises from the ravaged city.
What was once the carpark below the cameraman's vantage point is now a boiling and deadly body of water.
The unstoppable surge brings down power lines and street lights and then the green-roofed building breaks from its foundations and crashes into a multi-storey building in the foreground - spewing its contents into the surge as it is torn apart.
The cameraman pans right again and shows the full destruction of Kesennuma - the city is now reduced to partially submerged and shattered buildings.
Japanese authorities and the U.S. Geological Survey today announced that another quake, measuring 6.5 in magnitude earthquake hit off the northeast coast of Japan today.
It is also in the Miyagi prefecture, where Kesennuma and many other cities and villages once stood.
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami warning for the Pacific coast of Miyagi prefecture, But the warning was later withdrawn.
