If I had a pregnant daughter on the West coast; I would be watching the levels also even though I knew there was no danger to her.
As the poster said yesterday; we tested 100’s of nuclear weapons in the desert here in the 50’s and 60’s.
I think most people are not panicked and I’m certainly not but frankly I wouldn’t make fun of the poster who put up the link to the radiation monitoring instrument. I’m guessing a lot of folks went there and took a quick look. I did.
Apparently just a little while ago the CEO of the Japanese electric company broke down in tears on TV and said the severity of the crisis at the Fukishimo Nuclear plant is way worse that they were reporting. Now there is the possibility that they will have to try to dump cement on it like Chernobyl. So actually none of us really know what the possibilities are. Hopefully everythng will be OK.
