Earthquake in Japan
RoninatorMarx:
This article explains why people think salt stops radiation and disproves it.
EDIT: Talked to my relative in Japan. They're okay for now. They're having some blackouts to prevent plants from overheating, though. She's thanking that it's cold there now (it's still snowing over at her area) or else they might suffer from overheat. D:

Someone from another forum showed me that, along with a list from Indonesian manga publisher Elex. While Akiko Hasegawa is safe, but on that list I can't find Nakamura Eriko and Yumi Hara
Yurika Ochiai is safe btw

Everyone here in Nor Cal is hysterical thinking radiation from Japan is somehow gonna reach hear. Theres almost no Potassium Iodine left. Even the experts are saying "NONE OF THAT RADIATION IS COMING HERE". All that money unnecessarily spent on Potassium Iodine could've been spent to help Japan

You don't live in California like I do do you?
I know that the radiation that's going to come tomorrow is very weak, but that doesn't mean our own government shouldn't take precautions to protect it's own people. Better to overreact than regret not doing so.
People are getting nervous here in Cali btw. IF (and that's a big if) the reactors do go into catastrophic meltdowns, I'm starting my cross country trip a few months early and I don't hesitate to say that the majority of California isn't going to be far behind me.

What news are you getting? This report just came out tonight.
--- Quote from: Mercury News ---SANTA CRUZ - County health officials issued a statement Thursday discouraging local residents from taking potassium iodide as a precautionary measure against radiation sickness.
The statement said "The tablets can be a danger to people with allergies to iodine, shellfish or who have thyroid problems. Taken inappropriately, the tablets can have serious side effects including abnormal heart rhythms, nausea, vomiting and bleeding."
Local officials noted statements made Thursday morning by the California Department of Public Health and the California Emergency Management Agency saying there is no risk expected to California or its residents as a result of the nuclear plant problems in Japan.
