The Tohoku Pacific Coast Earthquake had a seismic intensity of less than 5, but it caused a huge tsunami that hit flat areas, and according to a survey by Iwate Prefecture, a tsunami of about 12.5 meters in height washed over the Tama no Waki district of Ube Town. I understand. Although only two people were killed, the tanks at the national oil storage base along the coast were washed away and destroyed by the tsunami, and the nearby Kita Nippon Shipbuilding factory was almost completely destroyed by the tsunami. Additionally, the Kosode Ama Center, which was completed in August of the previous year on the Kosode coast, was completely destroyed. In addition, houses were completely destroyed or partially damaged by the tsunami, and some were flooded.
