Even to this area… I was speechless

(by Ms. Motoko Miura (64), a housewife living as an evacuee at Nochinoiri Community Center in Ofunato City)

The tsunami approached just in front of my face, and I hurt my left leg when running away from it. I watched from the high ground that houses and cars were washed away. I did not expect that tsunami would come to even this area and was speechless. I will think about the future after moving in to the temporary housing.
