Off-Topic -- Amazing Before/After Tsunami Sattelite Photos

[Forum Boss]

Guys,
I'm sort of breaking my own rules here by going totally off-topic, but there is a web page with truly spectacular satellite photos showing Japan coastal cities before and after the Tsunami. When the page loads, you'll see a dozen "before" pictures (top to bottom of page). Go to the RIGHT side of each photo and drag your mouse back to the left to expose the After photo.

This is definitely one of the most dramatic displays of what happened in Japan.

Remember you have to pull the "After" photos from the right with your mouse. Some of the worst damage is shown in LINK Part 2.

I am amazed and sick to my stomach realizing so many inocent people were wiped off the face of the earth in seconds.I only hope that the whole world joins in to help the civilians recover from this atrocity.

Prayers go out to those in Japan.

I thank the good Lord we were, for the most part, spared of major damage and no deaths here in Hawaii. Many here were prepared, and moved to high ground well ahead of the surge. There was some damage, but folks were well out of the danger zone.
Just goes to show it is better to have and not need, than to need and not have. Stay prepared and stay safe.
