My town in Fukushima, which is 100km away from the melting power plants, now has working phones, water, electricity and apparently even gas. Or at least part of the town does

Less than a week! Wow.

Just now one of my friends in that town forwarded this to me. It's, um, an easy-to-understand explanation of the explosions and whatnot at the nuclear power plants. Using farting and pooing as an analogy. Basically, my friend was saying, "We're okay enough over here to laugh about it!"

All I can say is, OMG. *dead*

That is doomsday reporting for you. Media sensationalism.

I spoke to a science teacher today and his opinion was that the meltdown cannot be controlled, and there will be a dead zone afterward, but my town at 100km away will be okay. So it probably won't spread too far. Good news and bad news.
