Hawaii and the US Pacific Coast could be at risk.
I've read (in several different places) that a meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plants could be very bad for parts of the US. Not to mention the obvious, horrendous devastation to anyone living in or near Japan. I don't mean to be a Chicken Little, but this is scary stuff.

I hope the Obama Administration is on this, ahead of everything else right now.

4. Someone needs to send that graphic to her
or post it on her facebook page. Not before drawing her house in and spelling out "Japan" so she understands it, though.

8. I read the most stupid thing ever today - attached to
the back of the seat on a small motorbike.

"Don't blame me. I voted for Sarah Palin".


I just shook my head that someone could be so dumb as to put that up with obvious pride.

9. A meltdown does not mean radioactive discharge into the atmosphere.
The OP is jumping the gun and inciting unnecessary fear.

11. Don't worry, events in Wisconsin certainly isn't on their agenda...
They should have plenty of time to actively plan accordingly.

13. silly
Of course he is. :sarcasm:
Why, at the presser today he said Hillary informed him the Air Force was flying in some special "coolant". :eyes:
Reuters later gave an update of: No Air Force. No super duper nuclear Antifreeze "special coolant". That's when I got worried. Their updates were talking about some non-existant "coolant" WTF?????
