There are reports from 7,400 - 125,000 buildings and homes damaged or destroyed depending on which news source you look at. Looks like the higher number is closer to the truth and will be while until all the numbers are in.
It's impossible to separate the damage of the March 11 magnitude 9.0 earthquake from the tsunami and hundreds of aftershocks that followed so the counts must include the total damage.
