WAJIMA, Japan (AP) — A woman was pulled carefully from the rubble 72 hours after a 7.6 magnitude quake rattled Ishikawa Prefecture. Deaths climbed Friday to 94 people, and 222 people were missing after a series of powerful quakes rattled Japan’s western coast and triggered tsunamis. The Earthquake Research Institute at the University of Tokyo found that the sandy coastline had shifted by up to 820 feet seaward in some places. Thousands of Japanese troops have joined the disaster relief effort. With some routes cut off by the destruction, worries were growing about communities in which water, food, blankets and medicine have yet to arrive.
