Move the cursor over the line on the right of the photo, and then move it to the left. Some of those towns/villages were wiped clean off the face of the earth.

Wow!

And Wind, don't feel ashame, we too lost entire villages!
The people who should be ashamed are the ones who acted like animals after the storm, I have noticed the same as warwoman, you see no selfish 'American' behavior going on there.

I set the minimum magnitude to six and put on the sticky dots.

Figured the usual US big deal quake is 6 on the scale - how many of those were there.
