Aerial Photos Before And After 2011 Earthquake And Tsunami, Japan

Some South Pacific countries, including Tonga, American Samoa and New Zealand, experienced larger-than-normal waves, but did not report any major damage. Along the Pacific Coast of Mexico and South America, tsunami surges were reported, but in most places caused little or no damage. Peru reported a wave of 1.5 meters (4.9 ft) and over 300 homes damaged in the towns of Pueblo Nuevo de Colan and Pisco. The surge in Chile was large enough to cause some damage.
Russia evacuated 11,000 residents from coastal areas of the Kuril Islands shortly following the earthquake.
