When I first looked at the camera tonight, was after all this smoke or vapor had filled the air. Was assuming it was fog from the ocean. However, someone posted on a anti-nuke blog that they saw the initial expulsion of smoke/smog from reactor #4. So I then went to the archive and saw the initial releases from number 4. Now one would hope it was steam (vapor) and not smoke. Impossible to tell from that video. However, when the area around the reactors filled with smoke/steam, it was blowing out to the ocean. So there is no ocean fog rolling inland tonight. It is all coming from those reactors. And it looks like that smoke/smog is coming from more then one area.

Now if you can stomach it, check out this video from about an hour before #4 starts blowing smoke or steam. That beam or whatever it is, on the right area near the lower part of the stack, came out of the ground. The anti-nuke people are going ape-crap over this. I have no idea what came out of the ground over there earlier tonight. And it appears that the smoke/steam is coming from possibly multiple sources since it was rolling into the camera view from the far right.

That video is a little over 1 hour before #4 started blowing smoke/steam. And around the time that TEPCO decided to inject boric acid into #2. Also reports that other SFP are getting too warm #3 and #5.
