I haven't seen anything that beats those hand-cranked chargers (the ones that are built into emergency radios and the like). My "earthquake radio" can be cranked and even has a jack for charging a phone.

It was nice to see those pictures of the cleanup and rebuilding efforts.
However, TEPCO is like a fly in the medicinal ointment. Those old men resigning still doesn't make me feel as if the company itself has things under control. More importantly the Govt is still tail biting each other over politics regarding TEPCO. It is at times like this I wish the Emperor would just step in and say "stop, fix or sepupku" LOL... LOL ok for a moment I went Meji era. |

No, no.. that's EXACTLY what he needs to do. This mess has been generally caused by incompetent closet nationalist-extremists who were just sponging along anyway

^ I checked the Japanese twitter and found that earthquake_jp (I guess this is some official twitter account) has already release info on the magnitude (M6.3) ect. Very efficient.
I hope the damage is as small as possible. For those who are affected, be safe! |

The week before it happened back then is eerilly repeating itself these last 2 weeks and the shaking is feeling the exact same. Needless to say, I am considering getting some extra supplies and restock some stuff just in case it all goes down again. Sadly the two M6 ones these have been happening at night, 2 nights of major sleep depravation now is killing me x.x (Fri night was my own issues but I'm stuck awake now)

Speaking of which, I have to admire the Japanese reserve against all these horrible challenges. If a quake of that magnitude went off here in Southern California (or more likely, WHEN) I don't think I want to know what kind of $#!+ would go down in LA. (Might make the '92 riots look like a grade-school recess.) |

As Japan trembles at the thought of rice contamination ("No rice, no life") to go with all the other cherished items failing the radiometer test.... so far Chiba rice seems to be passing inspection.

Some families find respite in Oregon.
For Fukushima families, a brief respite from nuclear nightmare

I had a slight panic attack at the thought of radiation from the plant drifting over the American West Coast; I can't imagine what life must be like in Fukushima Prefecture these days. Just last Monday the latest episode of Anthony Bourdain had him on a tour of the ghost city of Pripyat, Ukraine, which was right in the shadow of Chernobyl. You can actually go on tours there, provided you eat only in the car, stay on paved surfaces, and avoid touching plants, soil, moss and mold under all circumstances. This story brought that episode home to me again.
Of course, he was only there for about an hour or so. If I were one of those people spending time in Oregon, I might just make arrangements to move there. Or at least somewhere on the other side of Tokyo. Going back a few pages...about that beached ship in one of the devastated towns; maybe it should form the centerpiece of the official national memorial to the quake. And of course the memorial (assuming one is built) should be in the devastated area and not in Tokyo. Anything otherwise would be like putting America's official 9/11 memorial on the National Mall rather than the WTC site. |
