Earthquake buries homes under

https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/05/world/japan-earthqu…

okyo (CNN)Yet another natural disaster has struck part of Japan, continuing a summer of chaos that has seen the country weather deadly floods, typhoons, earthquakes, landslides and heatwaves.

At least 9 people were killed in Thursday’s earthquake, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Friday.

The government had previously said 16 people died, but Suga told reporters later that this figure was incorrect and officials had mistakenly also counted those who suffered heart attacks due to the quake.

Search and rescue teams are still looking for 26 people missing in the western town of Atsuma in Hokkaido Prefecture. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that more than 22,000 people were involved in the rescue efforts, as the northern island still deals with the after effects of the magnitude-6.6 quake, which caused landslides that buried homes and other buildings.

Electricity was restored to around 1.4 million buildings as of Friday morning, Abe added, around half of all of those which initially lost power.

More than 150 people were injured by the quake, mostly in Sapporo, said Kazuya Isaki, an official with the Crisis Management Office of Hokkaido Prefecture Government. Dozens of people were reported missing in Atsuma, near the epicenter of the quake, where four of the deaths occurred.

Public broadcaster NHK reported that flights and public transport across the region had been brought to a standstill.

Nearly 3 million households lost power, according to the Hokkaido Electric Power Company. Officials said a main power station lost operations, affecting other sites. Independently owned power generators were assisting.

    Risk of aftershocks

    The powerful quake lasted almost a minute, jolting residents from their beds and collapsing roads.

    Near the epicenter, landslides wiped out houses in the tiny town of Atsuma, home to 40 residents. Officials said multiple people were still missing hours after the initial quake.

    Photos from Sapporo, Hokkaido’s main city on the western part of the island, showed huge cracks in the street and subsided houses.

    More than 4,000 defense force soldiers have been deployed to help with rescue operations, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said, and that number could rise to 25,000 if needed.

    Helicopter rescue crews were also dispatched and have airlifted around a dozen people to safety. Evacuation shelters have been set up in many towns and cities around the region.

    Aftershocks were continuing Thursday morning, and could pose a risk for the next week, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency, which warned residents of the increased risk that buildings could collapse near the epicenter of the original quake.

      Typhoon Jebi lashes Japan 01:12

        Thursday’s earthquake comes as much of Japan is still dealing with the effects of Typhoon Jebi, the strongest such storm to hit the Japanese mainland in 25 years.

        High winds smashed a tanker into a bridge, forced one of the country’s largest airports to close and left at least 10 people dead.

        On Japan’s main island of Honshu, nine cities and towns issued compulsory evacuation orders. A further 53 issued non-compulsory evacuation orders.

          Before it made landfall, the storm had sustained winds of 140 kilometers per hour (87 mph) and gusts of 165 kmh (102 mph), the equivalent of a Category 1 Atlantic hurricane.

          Saturday Evening Girls (2000-2500 words = 7-8 pages)

          Essay on Saturday Evening Girls. Course: Survey of American Ceramics.

          Summarize your findings in 2000-2500 words, using fully labeled captions as needed to make your point. A labeled illustration will include the artist, title, date, material, collection and source of image. Please consult the following book for guidance with grammar/style/citations, etc. Kate Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses and Dissertation; Chicago Style for students and Researchers, 2007.

          The submitted text should be in Times New Roman font, 12-point, 1.5 spaced. Please use a variety of scholarly sources, both online and in print, to support your work.

          1. I am attaching an article by the professor of the course, so you could see her style and what she expects from writing (falino.example.article).

          2. I think the theses should be just like the one from the research paper on The Renaissance Medicine that you wrote (I am also attaching the outline of the Renaissance one just in case). Again, how this group of ceramic artists contributed, why were these women so special, and maybe one page maximum about this company Saturday Evening Girls becoming a part of Paul Revere Company – how and what were the reasons. Focus on Saturday Evening Girls, not Paul Revere. Talk about feminism, immigration, art and crafts movement and maybe take 2-3 objects that they made as an example,each object 1-2 paragraphs in catalog entry style would be nice, I think.

          3.The most important sources:
