Basketball Counselor
Basketball Counselor
I was a counselor coach for children, ages 7 - 13 years old, in April & May of the year 2011 when I was 26 years old. We would meet at the Salvation Army's Moore Street Corps church in Portland, Oregon USA Friday nights for about 2 hours and each Saturday from around 8 - 10 AM, or so.
I guided my dozen or so of kids to the different activities. There were basketball drills, games. We had snack time, games, and other activities.

2011 Tōhoku Earthquake & Tsunami
The 2011 Tōhoku Earthquake & Tsunami occurred 14:46 JST (Japan Standard Time), as in 2:46 PM, on Friday, the 11th of March of the year 2011.
I was on my computer, in my room, in the house of Charlotte Battle, in PDX, when this was happening, and I asked people on Facebook if they thought Hawaii or even Oregon was going to get flooded.
After seeing disaster films, it makes you wonder.
The 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tōhoku (東北地方太平洋沖地震 Tōhoku-chihō Taiheiyō Oki Jishin), often referred to in Japan as the Great East Japan Earthquake (東日本大震災 Higashi nihon daishinsai)[8][9][10][fn 1] and also known as the 2011 Tohoku earthquake,[11] and the 3.11 Earthquake, was a magnitude 9.0 (Mw) undersea megathrust earthquake off the coast of Japan that occurred at 14:46 JST (05:46 UTC) on Friday 11 March 2011,[2][3][12] with the epicentre approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tōhoku and the hypocenter at an underwater depth of approximately 30 km (19 mi).[2][13] It was the most powerful known earthquake ever to have hit Japan, and the fifth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900.[12][14][15] The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami waves that reached heights of up to 40.5 metres (133 ft) in Miyako in Tōhoku's Iwate Prefecture,[16][17] and which, in the Sendai area, travelled up to 10 km (6 mi) inland.[18] The earthquake moved Honshu (the main island of Japan) 2.4 m (8 ft) east and shifted the Earth on its axis by estimates of between 10 cm (4 in) and 25 cm (10 in).[19][20][21]
On 12 September 2012, a Japanese National Police Agency report confirmed 15,883 deaths,[22] 6,145 injured,[23] and 2,667 people missing[24] across twenty prefectures, as well as 129,225 buildings totally collapsed, with a further 254,204 buildings 'half collapsed', and another 691,766 buildings partially damaged.[25] The earthquake and tsunami also caused extensive and severe structural damage in north-eastern Japan, including heavy damage to roads and railways as well as fires in many areas, and a dam collapse.[18][26] Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said, "In the 65 years after the end of World War II, this is the toughest and the most difficult crisis for Japan."[27] Around 4.4 million households in northeastern Japan were left without electricity and 1.5 million without water.[28]
The tsunami caused nuclear accidents, primarily the level 7 meltdowns at three reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant complex, and the associated evacuation zones affecting hundreds of thousands of residents.[29][30] Many electrical generators were taken down, and at least three nuclear reactors suffered explosions due to hydrogen gas that had built up within their outer containment buildings after cooling system failure. Residents within a 20 km (12 mi) radius of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and a 10 km (6.2 mi) radius of the Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plant were evacuated. In addition, the U.S. recommended that its citizens evacuate up to 80 km (50 mi) of the plant.[31]
Early estimates placed insured losses from the earthquake alone at US$14.5 to $34.6 billion.[32] The Bank of Japan offered ¥15 trillion (US$183 billion) to the banking system on 14 March in an effort to normalize market conditions.[33] The World Bank's estimated economic cost was US$235 billion, making it the costliest natural disaster in world history.[34][35]
