The 8.9 magnitude quake struck Friday(March 11) off Japan's eastern coast, and prompted(引發(fā)) tsunami warnings（海嘯警報）across the Pacific as far away as South America and the U.S. West Coast.

In the convenience stores, there are no rice balls left. There is no bottled water left. People are facing a really serious situation in the days ahead for these people that are living in areas that were only moderately（普通的） damaged. The final death toll could range from the thousands to tens of thousands, depending on how many of these communities are gone.
