Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"The fires raged for three days, flames fanned by hot winds that created flash cyclones. . . . More than 3 million people lost their homes, around 104,500 were killed, and 52,000 were injured. Remarkably, rebuilding began at a breathtaking speed, and by 1932 Tokyo and Yokohama were modern, vibrant cities." [Furtado: 1001 Days]
