Earthquake map -- Focus on Japan [View all]

Recently I posted an OP titled "Scientists:'Big One' Building Beneath Fukushima" http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002316346 .

I have been keeping a very close eye on events at Fukushima. Today, I ran across two excellent earthquake maps from 2011. One is worldwide and the other focuses on Japan. They are astounding. Watch what happens after March 11, 2001. Unfortunately, neither contains any data from 2012. In the last 6 weeks, the seismic activity around Fukushima has been remarkable. Just today, there was a report of 4 quakes near Fukushima within 90 minutes -- 2 of them registered at 5.1: http://enenews.com/4-quakes-90-minutes-fukushima-began-several-hours-after-intensity-5-quake-ibaraki. All of the reactors at Fukushima are of concern, but especially Reactor 4 which is already leaning and ready to collapse.

In any case, watch the maps...They are incredible.
