Could very well have, ita. I think there are horns going off a lot all over the place.
Yeah, I saw on NHK that they upgraded it, so I think their numbers were just off to begin with, Cass. Probably wise to back off the coverage. I can't seem to.

Oh, you guys - as much as I miss posting with you, the one thing I wish for you at this hour of (your) night is a peaceful restful sleep.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Probably wise to back off the coverage.
Oh sure, because we're not the pot and kettle tonight.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Holy shit. Tsunamis are freaky scary.

I'm glad I've already heard from my friend in Kobe, thankfully. They haven't been affected around there. The earlier Kobe quake was right after he moved there. Yikes.

Yeah, out houseguests the other weekend were here to pick up a passport for grandma at the Japanese consulate in Atlanta. I think they were scheduled to fly to Japan yesterday, but I'm not positive, and I don't know where they were going first. They were planning to stay a month.

At the same time, I'm expecting that this will be the best-photographed and -videoed disaster ever.

Dear New York Times, could you please provide a MAP of Japan? I don't know where Sendai is!

The problem with no longer working in the industry is that it's hard to get real nuclear information. It sounds like Fukushima I has declared what would either be a site area or a general emergency here. Apparently it's shut down but has lost offsite power and the diesel generators. I wouldn't expect any significant radiation outside the plant boundary, but they could lose the reactor.
