Suzu, Ishikawa Pref. –
A woman in her 90s trapped for five days under the rubble by a huge earthquake in Ishikawa Prefecture was rescued against the odds, but snow and storms were expected to complicate relief efforts Sunday.
At least 126 people died in the magnitude-7.5 tremor on New Year’s Day and its aftershocks — a toll that is sure to rise, with 222 others reported missing to local authorities.
The jolt and its aftershocks toppled buildings, sparked a major fire and triggered tsunami waves of over a meter.
