  1. The following link described multiple pieces of information regarding the current earthquakes in Japan. The Data not only represents where the earthquakes occurred, but also social media data such as youtube videos, and up to date information regarding the current conditions in Japan.

  2. This is almost too much. The live videos and tributes just bring back all of the depression and sorrow from the day it happened. It provides good info but also keeps the memory alive.

  3. The earthquakes in japan were really extreem. It was made clear in the video that an earthquake is not just some shaking and buildings falling down. It's so much more than that. I've learned that with an earthquake, comes tsunamis, multiple after shocks, flooding, possible radiation, fires and more. There is just so much destruction, the website shows a lot of the devastation.

  4. This earthquake was devastating and I think it is extremely important that this website is up because it can make it easier for people to find where the worst spots are and where help is needed the most. It really makes you think about how mother nature can take away humanity with the blink of an eye. The videos are crazy the water just destroys the building and kills so many people, it is a very sad site. I think this is only the beginning, I have a feeling that the plates are starting to move more often than usually.

  5. This website really shows how bad Japan was hit. The videos show lots of destruction from not only the earthquake but also the tsunami. This site also shows where the reactors blew up and is very helpful to look at. Overall this site puts everything in reality and makes me think twice about mother nature and how unpredictable it is.

  6. This website shows all of the massive destruction that weather can create. Buildings were destroyed from the waves and speed of the water. The different videos show just how little time it takes for the water to take over the city. This is also crazy because this is one of many natural disasters in the last couple of weeks. I have i feeling these natural disasters are going to keep occurring in the near feature.

  7. This website compiles most of the information and graphical shows it all in one nice package. The website is like the one for the New Zealand Earthquake, but it also adds more things like the shakemap so you can see where there was a lot of damage. It really opens your eyes watching the water crash through towns in the videos provided, but that is a good thing because as kids we don't fully understand the position the Japanese are in. I think they need to provide more of these types of maps because everyone can learn from it and see what it was really like
