Costliest Earthquakes

This bar chart was created from this table of most costly earthquakes found on Wikipedia. The original table includes event rank, year, location, magnitude, and property damage amounts as unadjusted costs. Entries are ranked according to the inflation-adjusted property cost. In cases where a range was given, the midpoint value has been used in the visualization. Each incident is color-coded by continent. (Continent data was manually added.)

Built with blockbuilder.org, and forked from curran's block: Extremist Murders in the US as a starting template for creating bar-chart graphics using blockbuilder and D3.js.
