The earthquake occurred at 16:53 local time (21:53 UTC) on Tuesday, 12 January 2010.[7][8] By 24 January, at least 52 aftershocks measuring 4.5 or greater had been recorded.[9] An estimated three million people were affected by the quake.[10] Death toll estimates range from 100,000[6] to 159,000[5] to Haitian government figures from 220,000[11][12] to 316,000 that have been widely characterized as deliberately inflated by the Haitian government.[4] The government of Haiti estimated that 250,000 residences and 30,000 commercial buildings had collapsed or were severely damaged.[13] Many countries responded to appeals for humanitarian aid, pledging funds and dispatching rescue and medical teams, engineers and support personnel.

The Girl Who Loves to Levitate (14 photos) Natsumi Hayashi is a sweet-looking Japanese girl who, one day, decided to take self-portraits..of herself levitating. She can be spotted in and around Tokyo, equipped with her SLR and her self-timer. When she feels the moment strike, she presses the shutter button down and then, quite literally, "jumps" into place. What I love most about her shots is that they don't feel forced. When I asked her how others react to her jumping around Tokyo, here is a funny story that she shared. "So I stopped jumping and apologized to them by saying, 'I am taking jumping photos for my wedding party's slide show.' "Then, I took one of the best levitation shots of the entire series." "We are all surrounded by social stress as we are bound by the forces of earth's gravity," Natsumi says when asked why she took on the series. Natsumi Hayashi's website

Thursday, June 2, 2011, one day after it was leveled by a tornado. Springfield, Mass. Few of the stunned onlookers snapping pictures of the spectacle took notice of Talley, leaving the tiny 73-year-old woman with the cane to quietly grieve for the yellow house reduced to ruins by a tornado that left a swath of Massachusetts in shambles. "It was wonderful. At least three tornadoes tore through the region Wednesday, killing at least three people, injuring dozens, and blindsiding residents who thought blizzards were the worst punishment Mother Nature could mete out in this bucolic region. "That's why we always say we love New England. In fact, tornadoes regularly swing through here, but rarely are they powerful enough to kill. Even if these tornadoes didn't kill on a grand scale, they destroyed.
