Too late to tell my brother (he moved to Osaka last month)

Really fascinating data visualization, though

California hasn't had a good earthquake in years. If it had, fewer people would be moving there, and more people would be moving out.

Now, Japan, sits right on a subduction zone of the pacific plate. It's gonna be rocking and a rollin there all the time. Maybe, it's one reason why their so weird?

I don't keep up with dates (memorize) on all events around the world!

I should have put "I assume this was when the big tsunami hit?

"
I think you over reacted some!! sorry I offended you!

I don't think he meant to offend you! May be just puzzled as to how quickly one can forget events of such a global magnitude that happened less than a year ago. I also saw your post and thought "is this serious?". no offense.

I couldn't forget that!! nobody could!!

I have many video clips of the event, I just couldn't recall if it was March and that it coincided with what the video in post one showed, even Krauter posted:

showing he wasn't 100% sure either, did anyone have a go at him??

It's amazing how some people are quick to condemn over something quite trivial, gee, how dare I forget the month of the year it happened!!

No offense to you!

A disaster before or after you forget it, Jim?

There was a chap in Japan not so long ago (And I think it might have been mentioned on here) who said that it was only a matter of time before Tokyo got hit by a big one.
Japan is probably the best country in the world for dealing with earthquakes though, if the March earthquake had not triggered a tsunami there probably would not have been too much of a problem. The combination of the two however just overwhelmed them, and that Tsunami was just obscene. Over forty meters high in some places (133 feet) and stretching up to six miles in land.
What's interesting about that video is that you can see a brief build-up of earthquakes before the big one, the Japanese would have known something was coming in that area but would have had no idea just how big it would be until it happened.
