I actually went to Walmart today, but it wasn't really for the purpose of "catching deals".. we needed stuff. It actually wasn't too bad, I think they had 3 registers open.

In Pictures: Japan 6 Months Later

from the Sacramento Bee



Last Sunday was the six-month anniversary of the day the massive earthquake and tsunami devastated Japan's northeast coast. Some 20,000 people are dead or missing. More than 800,000 homes were completely or partially destroyed. The disaster rippled businesses, roads and infrastructure. The Japanese Red Cross Society estimates that 400,000 people were displaced.

Half a year later, there are physical signs of progress. Much of the debris has been cleared away or at least organized into big piles. In the port city of Kesennuma, many of the boats carried inland by the tsunami have been removed. Most evacuees have moved out of high school gyms and into temporary shelters or apartments.

Last week the Kyodo News agency distributed an amazing group of combination photographs showing three scenes. The first scene is right after the earthquake and tsunami hit, then three months later and finally, how the scene looks now.

This is a must-see set of photographs. Click here to see the huge set.

Before & After Bird's Eye Views Of Joplin, MO

Before and after photos of Joplin, Mo., have been floating around the Internet since the tornado swept through on [a week ago] Sunday — and one of the more striking comparisons is attributed to Aaron Fuhrman. We reached out to him and he shared several more photos, as well as his story. Combined with screen grabs from Google street view, these interactive images show just how devastating the damage has been.

Click the banner image above to see the before & after images, and be sure to click the "as seen from the street" link from that page, as well as the first link in the text above.

Kinda strange, but when I Googled this just now, there are a few sites which have the picture, but were posted a few years ago. I thought this was just released?
