I am happy that you are ok, Sora.
A 6.0M earthquake could potentially cause Mt. Fuji to wake up, which is bad news. Hopefully it does not wake up with all of the other devastation (nuclear reactors, aftershocks, tsunami) that is seen in Japan. I am keeping Japan in my prayers.Quote:

Thank you. There's Hamaoka nuclear plant within 60 miles from Mt. Fuji. It's been said that possible Tokai earthquake would affect that plant.Quote:

USAF is to restore Sendai Airport and they're flying RQ-4 Global Hawk around the plant.. Thanks America,we deeply appreciate. :)
That is a sensible idea.... heard that they might also use a U2 spyplane as wellQuote:

I seen this on the news yesterday and i about cried at hearing that the one dog got the attention of the searchers and had them follow it back to the other wounded dog. Now if that is not a scene of partnership, I dont know what is people. And im not sure if you got the names right Tay... but Hope and Protector fit after seeing that video. If someone adopts those two, those names would be perfect!!Quote:

Japan is a small country, there's nowhere to move. Besides, here're guys who've been risking their life to prevent meltdown. We shouldn't freak out or leave them behind in this difficult time.Quote:

I kinda know what you are going through. Though this was no where close to being as bad..it could have been. It just seems that many people here have forgotten about this.
We have been talking about this quite a bit at work and I am amazed at the number of us who said we would GLADLY open our homes and lives to those who need it. And as for locally here.. Everyone is doing anything we can to send aid and help out those in need.
I know a=of a couple fund raisers that are going on right now to raise money to get supplies and send over..though it seems like we can't get it out there fast enough.
Sora.. Thank you for the updates..you and EVERYONE there is in many of our hearts and prayers.
i remember hearing about that
we have a nuclear power plant called fernald.. been shut down for years
http://biology.clc.uc.edu/fankhauser...d/fernald.html
i'm 10 mins away from the plant only thing left is a tower
I didn't know that you were living near Three Mile Island.. it must've been hard for you as such a little girl to go through.. thanks for caring, and thanks for sharing your experience.Quote:

Thanks, CesarCardoso.
The latest news about the Fukushima plant are really promising. Little by little things are looking better and better.
A huge bow and admiration to the 300 engineers that work at the plant and try to fix it and save a whole nation. These are the real life heroes!!!
