Post-quake Day 2

[fencer_x]

I really need to stop watching the news :| It just seems to be getting worse up north, and while I don't want to panic or anything, I also have to wonder if I'm not getting enough on edge. Tokyo seems to be moving along like normal, and I expect I'll go into work tomorrow like any Monday, but...will the reactors in Fukushima be OK? Who knows

My thoughts are with you. Hang in there! Wishing for the best x

I hope Fukushima's power plant will calm down. :/

Are you worried that the results of a nuclear meltdown would hit Tokyo? Could you balance it by finishing up what needs to be done in the next couple of days and then heading south? How far south would you go, Osaka? There are some super cheap places to stay there. I just worry that if something does happen, there will be a mass Exodus that will be hard to navigate. This is all so freaky, especially because I used to live there. Stay safe!

Yeah, I'm mostly worried that like...if worse came to worse and I DID need to leave, it'd be too late. I plan on getting through tomorrow, judging the situation, and then heading out if it seems prudent. I'll go down to Shiga and stay with Meg, likely, so no worrying about finding a cheap place to stay or anything at least.

One coworker has already gone to Okayama, and my boss called me earlier this evening to ask about my plans and told me to gtfo if I thought it seemed the best course of action, as he was having trouble deciding as well. It made me feel better to have his "blessing" at least, and less like work >>>> life

Uh yeah ._. I really hope they're going to get that under control... reading the news is... really worrying, but at the same time I can't stop reading the same stuff over and over and over, hoping for something new and better...

And yes, being NOT in Japan right now is hell. If I could, I'd hop onto the next plane back just to be there and be able to actually talk to people.

I think the saying "better safe than sorry" was invented especially for cases like this... But that's easier said than done, just packing up and leaving is quite a big step after all.
Over here we're getting quite some mixed signals from the media, some experts say it'll be okay, some say a meltdown is imminent, so I really don't know :|

I've been following the news non-stop and it's really frightening. And I wish I could do anything besides donating money and hoping things don't get any worse than they already are.

Stay safe!
