The Earthquake Check In thread

17cpm in tokyo atm. very normal condition.

 

wtf man two tremors in increasing strength...

 

Damn, big after shock right now.

 

Shindo 6+ in Shizuoka (M6.0)

 

i found the source: tokyo metropolitan authorities. it's 10 times higher than normal, but still not dangerous at the moment.

problem with 4th reactor too.. when will this mess end? T_T

 

it might just be me but I can feel increased radiation ... like when you hold a mobile to your face for too long ...im prob just paranoid

 

psycological effect. don't worry for now the winds are said to be blowing torwrd the sea...

check on the net to be safe, many people hung geiger counters at their doors so if there's risks they'll send an early warning

 

How can you feel it if there is no? Your from Tokyo, right?

 

check my link on the prew. page.
only 17cpm, very very normal condition in tokyo.

 

the ustream one? it was stable at 40 when i looked at it 2 hours ago... not that i have any idea on how much is harming

 

Now its on 17cpm stable for 2h already. between 10~20 is everydays normal value.

Up to 500 is not immediate harming, but above 500 over a longer range of time could lead to cancer. over 1000 is quote deadly.

 

You're paranoid mate. Also holding a mobile phone to your face for a ong time does only one thing, get hot! For now you are safe. No need to worry. As for me, well, I may as well be in a different country for all that's changed down here :shrug:

 

Tokyo has now about 0.8uSv.

Now compare what that may harm to you:

I am fine and my girlfriend and her family are fine. I am off to Ibaraki next week, looks like currently the Etihad flights are going via Nagoya instead of direct to Tokyo, so will add a few hours to my flight, will be bringing a food parcel for my girlfriend as she says that the local supermarkets are quite bare.

 

"Tokyo has now about 0.8uSv."
Thats in addition to what we have already in our bodies
Also you notice when they take an xray the practitioner is out of the room...constant exposure cannot be good

 

I've left Tokyo and am now in Osaka.

 

good plan i am going to talk to my boss and ask if I can

one of those pictures that make you really understand the mess...

 

According to some german news outlets, one reactor seems to have suffered a hull breach. Dunno where they got that stuff from, Reuters reports nothing of that sort.
Still, over here they are scared so much that our chancellor has promised to take the seven oldest nuclear plants offline until june, that would be all reactors older than 30 years. One of the reasons cited was that theser reactors are not sufficiently safe in the event of an airplane crashing into it.
Yeah, right.
sheesh. And what do they want to replace them with in such a short amount of time?

I am slowly getting sick of weeding through all this stuff, do the networks even know who copies the news from whom? Seems like it's the same message going round in circles and getting more exaggerated with every rotation.

 

Reactors 1, 2 & 3 seeming now to be stabled. They are concentrating now on 4, 5. In 4 a fire was reported earlier the day..
