As weather hampers rescuers
Japan quake toll rises to 62

The 7.5-magnitude quake on Jan. 1 that rattled Ishikawa prefecture on the main island of Honshu triggered tsunami waves more than a meter high, sparked a major fire, and tore apart roads.

The Noto Peninsula on the Sea of Japan coast was most severely hit, with buildings ravaged by fire and houses flattened in several towns, including Wajima and Suzu, as shown by before-and after satellite images.

The regional government announced yesterday that 62 people had been confirmed dead and more than 300 injured, 20 of them seriously.
