Earthquake map

Dots representing the quakes

Tonight I received this link to an earthquake map. It shows all the earthquakes from 12:00am of March 11, up to when you open the link. Up to 10pm tonight (March 27) there have been 798 quakes. Each one is represented by a circle showing the magnitude and different colors for depth.

I will warn you before you open the link, it is horrible to watch the animation of the first quakes and the aftershocks. It made me feel sick again. Watching it is like watching fireworks and the only good thing is the number of aftershocks is decreasing - the ones we feel in Ibaraki are becoming less.

If you want to watch individual quakes, put your mouse over the list on the right-hand side of the page.
