In a change from your scheduled programming, I bring you these two awe-inspiring videos created by StoryMonoroch showing first the earthquakes over M3 experienced by Japan during 2011, and then worldwide earthquakes over M4.5, to put things in a little perspective. The two videos will leave you in no doubt as to the astonishing power of the T?hoku earthquake.
It’s well worth putting both these videos on full-screen.

As she struggles to work out how to get home, she uncovers Faerie’s dark secret and finds that she is not the only human who needs saving.

Thank you for sharing this simulation-animation . It was awesome.
I don’t think I’ll ever be relocating to Japan. In fact, since my apartment is situated on flat prairie, 2,185 feet above sea level and 700 miles from the nearest ocean (the the Rocky Mountains in between), I’ll stay put right here.
