In the past few days, I’ve been reviewing posts and/or topics that got big responses in 2014. One topic of concern was the approach of various storms. The single post that got the biggest response (3,192 views) on this topic was this article about evacuations in Kumamoto:

I don’t have the number of views but I got far more comments than ever before on this page in response to the following post about whether or not I was “crying wolf” by offering so much information about the storms (thanks for the support that many of you gave me):

When disasters hit, social networks morph from infotainment to venues for the exchange of vital information. This page and the Kumamoto-i mailing list are not exceptions but let’s hope that infotainment will suffice in 2015!
