[roliath]

man they are going to be cleaning this up for a long long time.
what a crazy series of events


14.13 The US Navy has announced it has detected low levels of radiation at two bases 200 miles north of Fukushima nuclear plant, and recommended that staff and families stationed there stay indoors where possible. One of the bases concerned is Yokosuka - more details when I get them.

This dude is a Blogger in Japan. He is providing Engrish translation of several Japanese news programs (NHK, TBS, Fuji TV).. He has been doing it constantly since the original quake. Frankly I think he's doing a great job..

He's off the air right now but I think he'll be on in a few hours.

Terrible. And at the same time absolutely amazing. We are beyond insignificant.

That's what I was hearing from the people at Atsugi and around Ayase, mid to upper 5.

Have you been able to talk to them yet?

Are they considering leaving the country? If not, I hope you can convince them.


Funny thing about this site. We've got people every where. I should be used to it by now, but it still amazes me.

Unfortunately, only my Mother In Law has a passport. I've already told the rest of them to get passports but who knows how long that will take.

We got an email from my Sister in law saying everyone is fine. It was late so we'll wait until this evening to call them over Skype.

Shit, yeah, you mentioned that. Damn. Hope everything stabilizes and turns out okay for them. I know you and your wife have got to be going crazy right now.

I guess it's a good thing you cancelled that trip.

I have heard the airports are packed with people trying to leave. That is just what I heard.

[SSMAN]

Freaking insane. Claiming that Japan is now 13 miles closer and it moved the earth 6.5" off its axis. I guess that is what is called a "biggy"
