My thoughts and condolences go out to those in Japan affected by this earthquate and tsunami.
I hope that everyone affected, is now safe has adequate supplies, and I wish them a speedy recovery to get their lives back to normal.

I sent him a PM when I first logged in.  No word yet, but there is that whole time zone thing to consider.  I do hope he and his are ok.  I saw some video of what went down and it's ... it's pretty bad.

Yeah, that is one hell of an earthquake. May the rebuilding go with the pace of that after a Godzilla-type film.

It really depends how old the facility is.  Nuclear power is a careful dance of scientific precision and runaway physics; and there have been enough accidents to teach us that.  Redundant systems are commonplace at such facilities, and it's being attended by highly-educated highly-motivated people who have a tendancy toward thinking long term.

Yep, I'm okay. I appreciate the concern, but as I said in the epic thread of awesome, I'm way out in Okinawa. Very far, very isolated. My brother is in Tokyo, and also fine.

Good news!
I know we disagree a lot, but when I saw the news, and remembered you saying that you lived in Japan, I got concerned.

Well, glad you and your brother are fine.
