8.9 earth quake + tsunami in Japan

[Seth]

My friend in osaka said she didn't feel much of a shake when it happened. She was in a cafe and the tables were rattling a bit. Anyway, I'm so nervous about the meltdown situation. Another of my friends is living at a ski hill kind of west from Tokyo. Its so crazy to think about what's potentially another Chernobyl in progress.
People are worried on the west coast, (vancouver) because of the current heading directly over here.
Something seems amiss over their backup plan for the Fukishima plant. Some safety shortfalls on their nuclear industry's behalf?
fuuuuck there's so many people close to there. What a nightmare
