@Snowstorm:

> i just heard on the news that ther are 9500 people in one town unaccounted for =/

Yeah, the missing persons numbers are going up pretty high; I think it's totaling over 88,000 or something :(

@Marsh:

> Why is the radiation only going in a set direction? Wouldnt it create more of a circle effect?

As aminooo said, the air streams carry it.  You can think of fallout almost like a rain cloud; this dust literally "falls" from a cloud-like structure; it's at the mercy of the wind.

You know, it's not going to magically stop in the midwest; that's just the furthest this map projected it.  East cost could very well end up with 200-400 rads.  We can always use [Chernobyl](http://qed.princeton.edu/getfile.php?f=Radioactive_fall-out_from_the_Chernobyl_accident.jpg) as a basic indication.

Of course, I just meant that I hopefully won't have to worry about it for a few weeks ;)

Actually, the earth quake was an 8.9, larger than the Kobe earthquake of 1995 which was only a 6.8\. This earthquake is one of the strongest in man's history. The thing is… i live in Southern California and if that radiation reaches me... hello cancer!

Thank God I live on the West coast. I'll be the first to get cancer. Huzzah!

Jsut so you know, that is not very accurate… The amount of radiation that hit the west coast today was one-millionth the dose rate of radiation a person would receive from normal sun exposure. So calm down! You don't need to hide yo' kids, hide yo' wives, or hide yo' husbands!
