slowly working our way around the pacific ring of fire. It is only a matter of time before we get nailed in the U.S.
I was closing up the bar at work tonight and one minute we are watching basketball highlights, the next we are watching an 8M wave on CNN inundate everything in its path. I'm a geological science major so I kind of get off on this stuff, but I still feel for the people who are effected greatly by this geological catastrophe.

Uh-oh.
It's in the turbine building of the Onagawa plant. Possibility of radioactive spillage, but no verified reports of malfunctions in the reactor building or primary coolant circuit.

Reports of emergency core cooling systems of reactor 1 & 2 in Fukushima NPP. http://www.businessinsider.com/fukushima-nuclear-plant-2011-3
No reports of actual spillage or uncontrolled chain reactions. But this could become problematic.

it seems imminent that this will hit japan HARD in a variety of aspects. now, i'm curious to see what the rest of the world is going to do about it since japan is a huge asset in both the asian stock market and american stock market.
