I live in NM. Which is near the west coast. But yes, its all exaggerated by media!  :cuteshit:





saying nm is near the west coast is a bit of an exaggeration as well :lol:

i live in OR and im not too worried about remnants of a nuclear fallout in japan making it's way over here. i imagine if it's bad enough that we could be effected by it that we would know about it long before we felt the effects over here. and if that happened to be the case i'd already be well on my way back to the south :cool:




I only live 700 miles away from LA? Hahahaha :lol:

Yeah if you look around the pacific rim North America is the only place to have not been thrashed by a major earthquake yet. We're in for some hellish times ahead. There has been dead fish and all that other creepy shit on California's shores. That one scientist dude showed that that happens right before big natural disasters. And with supermoon this weekend.....

I would personally bounce out just in case. At least until the 20th or 21st.

Yeah we're thinking about doing that. We've already been preparing with canned food/water/flashlights/tents, etc. Fortunately if the earthquake causes a tsunami, I'm sort of protected by mountains, but who knows what other shit may come. I think California has nuclear plants built right near the faults too.

you're 3 states away from the pacific ocean brah.

not like it matters, some people have extremely differing concepts of what 'near' is.

to me saying you're near the coast means you can drive to the coast in 5-6 hours. driving to the coast from new mexico would be a good solid day of driving atleast. i think you have 0 problems to worry about even in the most extreme case of a nuclear fallout happening.

I dont think thats true at all.




I'm talking about the Japanese people who haven't been directly affected by the tsunami.




I know. But the nuclear threat is real and I seen quotes form people that are saying
they do not believe their government is telling them the whole truth and they do not
believe them. I hear people are starting to leave Tokyo as well.

Honestly, even if the place explodes, I don't think we would be that effected here on the west coast. Japan would be royally fucked, but it's not like some huge plume of radiation would float across the pacific and kill people in the States....

There is no need for alarm in the U.S...except when we get OUR mega-quake that will absolutely destroy Seattle and good chunk of the west coast  :wowz:

Seriously? I have a very hard time believing this is accurate. Countries next to Japan aren't even that concerned. It's a bunch of media hype to make people panic and go out and buy shit...

people are just being cautious. Better to be safe than sorry as they say.

The media is telling a tale from both ends of the spectrum. One side is that
if there is a fallout then we could indeed see the type of thing in the map above.
On the other side they say by the time any radiation hit the US it would be so
small that it would be no worse then flying into LA or whatever city.

Choose which makes you more comfy at home I guess.

That's an incredibly massive overstatement in my opinion - 750 rads is enough to kill nearly 100% of all Americans in the downwind :lol:

The spread of radiation is not so uniform - nor is it so powerful so far away from the source.

Ok, when Chernobyl blew up, less than 100 people died. Also, the distance between Chernobyl and New York is less than the distance between LA and Fukushima, and we saw NO effects from the Chernobyl disaster here in the United States.
http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/03/16/experts-u-s-wont-feel-health-effects-from-japan/

Besides according to that pic every single person in the western united states would BE DEAD. 750+ Rads = lethal. I'm calling BULLSHIT

Japan is closer to the States than you think. You'll notice most maps have it at the opposite end from the states, but remember also that the world is round and when you go off one end you find yourself at the other.

I'm not worried about it personally, but it is something to think about.





yeah, it's really close, only on the other end of the pacific ocean, LMAO. that is only 3 times the length between here and europe, not that far at all, only on THE OPPOSITE END OF THE WORLD:shrug:


anyway, they said the same thing with chernobyl, they said that it would release so much radiation it would 'CHANGE THE WORLD.' but yeaahhh.. right. i mean, they detonated tsar bomba, the biggest hydrogen bomb in the world, and it didn't cause massive radiation. and even though fallout from the hydrogen bomb was supposed to be MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH less than a fission bomb, tsar bomba was so huge, you could wipe that idea out of your mind that there would be no massive radiation in the part of the globe, and even that didn't effect us.


people get really freaked out over these power plant explosion things. i mean i'm sure the hiroshima bomb itself released way more radiation, and even some parts of japan the island it's located on were effected by very little amounts of radiation, what makes people think it will reach here.

Let's put this into perspective right now... The highest recorded radiation level at Fukushima 1 to date is 1000 mSv/hr. Eating 1 banana will give you about a .0001 mSv dose. Some areas of Chernobyl immediately after the explosion were around the 300,000 mSv level. There's honestly nothing to worry about in terms of radiation on the west coast.
