Unusual satellite views before/after of Japanese Devastation

[ToddDH]

The link below is unique in that once you bring up the site, place your mouse on the right and just move the arrow slowly to the left and you can see the exact area before and after the Tsunami. There are two parts so make sure you see Part 2 as it is in effect, a continuation. after viewing the picture scroll down to the next. For those of you familiar with northern Japan (I am not), each area is identified. Some entire towns and villages have just literally disappeared.

The results are mind boggling. What an unmitigated disaster and so very very sad!

Horrifying reality. We can only count our blessing and pray for those in Japan.
