Kitakami-gawa River Ishinomaki, Miyagi-ken Japan

The earthquake shifted the city southeast and downward, lowering it by as much as 1.2 metres (3.9 ft) in some areas and causing it to flood twice daily at high tide. A once sandy beach in the Kadonowaki area has completely disappeared and tides now reach the wall that once separated the beach from the road.
