Easy for me to remember that because today is my brother's birthday.  And the tsunami in Sri Lanka was the day before we moved into our current home. 

Deanna Early It doesn't seem like five years already. I lived in Japan and feel sorry for the people who were affected by the destruction.

To be truthful I had forgotten.

One prayer for the area from here. Amen

Yes I remember that. Japan is in my heart I've been so lucky to be able to taste that amazing culture. People there is very disciplined, polite and hard working . They are trying their best to recovery from that catastrophic earthquake. My ptayer goes to those family affected.

Yes, I remember.  They are still going through the repercussions of this disaster.

I was all ready with the correct answer but you have it listed soooo...

This was and still is a serious environmental disaster that has no easy remediation.

Oh yes, what a mess indeed.  I guess they call it 311 now.  Very sad, but hopefully, some learning to avoide more issues in the future.

Yes.

I actually worked on the GE reactor Containment design and testing. Fukusima employed first generation reactor containment Mark I. Mine was Mark III. 

Today GE Nuclear Energy Division is a shopping center named "The Plant".

The reactor business died and I am still around. 

Such a tragedy.

My prayers for families of the victims.

I remember now.   Sad.  

I remember watching the horrific pictures. I can say i have liked seeing the new pics of how they are building the communities back up again

Good morning Deanna. I did not remember that, what an awful event, the death and destruction was beyond belief.

 The sun came up and the sun went down.

I have a hard time remembering yesterday

Deanna Early - oh yes, now I remember! Our memories are really short-lived...

Yes, I was surprised to see an ad in our paper today from the Japanese thanking Americans for the donations and support after this disaster. The ad also invited Americans to come visit and see the rebuilding that was done.

Had no idea it was today.  Thanks!

I can't believe it has already been 5 years.  The older we get, the faster it goes!

Thanks for the reminder Deanna, it was a horrific storm.

I can rember but would rather think of something more pleasnt:).

I did not know this was the anniversary. That was a terrible catastrophe. 

The earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

That is the kind of stuff I do not want to think about. Point me to all the good stuff ... please.

Yes, that was so bad.  Hope it never happens again.

well, I just read Chris Ann's answer and I did not remember that.... today is my oldest grandson's 22nd birthday.... I know that one!!!

A terrible event, for sure. But can't say I have any memory of it happening 5 years ago today.

I did not remember; however I see some good answers.
