They are screwing themselves big time - but I still sympathize with anyone forced to rely on TEPCO or the Japanese government for information.

Does anybody know the amount of damage that hit Hachinohe?
I saw some video of waters hitting some structures, but I do not know the extent of the damage.
Another American friend and I on a trip back in 2003 were there for one night, but we never made it any more than a couple blocks from the train station - the one that ended the shinkansen line. We hope everybody we met that night is ok.
I don't have a lot of internet time these days. Thanks

I think the port is 100 percent gone and probably some other routes from the main station to the ocean, along with the hovel houses and shanty town (used to love walking...
). On a brighter note, Aomori-ken actually got out very light outside of the immediate coast at Hachinohe, with few casualties...

Much thanks to "jisinsikuhou" for continuing to provide this feed!
They are now back to normal programing as much as can be, but they have the morning and evening news plus news on the hour. If you understand Japanese, it's a great way to stay in touch on what's going on.

By "main station", this is the same one as the one the Shinkansen stops at?I think the port is 100 percent gone and probably some other routes from the main station to the ocean, along with the hovel houses and shanty town (used to love walking...

We stopped at a tavern almost across the street or just down the road from the station. Did you ever hear of a place called "Ichi ban tori" ?
This is from a receipt or drink ticket from our stop there. For all I know it might not even be the name of the place. It does have a phone number just below this though, so I'm thinking it is the name.

What a brave reporter, so is that person driving with him. I'm quite curious to know if those animals they spotted would somehow suffer from the effects of the radiation, although I'm asking that question on the assumption they have been within the evacuation area for a long time.

Ee, he's really brave for going in that deep.

What I mean is that the radiation levels are not getting higher than first reported. Which means not much new radiation is being released. And if it is mainly Iodine 131, it will be completely gone in under 3 months.
B/c it is not high enough to have any effects on them yet.

There won't be any effect to them in the long run either? If so I'm really happy that, however all that damage...

Hmmm, well then, that's good news (not the damage), but that also brings up my curiosity of those "Iodine Tablets" everyone's been talking about, what significanse do they have anyway?

Japan continues to rock and roll: Just today there have been nearly 30 earthquakes of a magnitude 4.0 or greater with 99% of them in the same location.
Check out the IRIS Real Time Seismic Monitor and click on "Last 30 Days". It lists 1,021 earthquakes with the vast majority of them in the same place off of Sendai.
Interesting stuff and something real serious is going on in that area.

Who the **** was the genius who declared this nuclear situation a level 7? ****, morons running TEPCO, now overestimating the level of seriousness. The say it has only let 10% of the amount of radiation out than Russia and no deaths from immediate radiation exposure, so how the **** does that equate to the same level of Chernobyl?
What are they trying to do, win points or something? I can't believe how this is being handled, we may as well have had monkeys running the show, b/c that is all I can think of in this situation.

No doubt the management of the crisis regarding everything from safety practices to the flow of information is completely unprofessional.
But the possible combined levels of radiation spewing + leaking from the plant might explain such discrepancy. Of course the leaking radiation could be kept in safe containers, which accordingly might not be a cause for worry. ???
