News now reporting a 4th reactor is on fire and more radiation has been released.
Japanese PM asking people within 19 miles of the fukashima plants to remain inside.
This situation is going from bad to worse each minute.

The key now is to know which way the wind is blowing. When Chernoble blew it took 10 days for the cloud to reach the west coast. the radiation levels were below limit at that time. This is worse.

Because I want to inform people that things are changing rapidly. It is a very dangerous situation, no?

Unless it goes up to 30,000ft we should be fine. The jetstream is no where near Japan at the moment. Gotta die somehow, right?
