Since the 3-11-11 earthquake/tsunami that rolled Japan, The Reactors at Fukushima Daiichi have been spewing radioactive isotopes into the air and water.

Here are some sites to keep an eye on the situation:

http://netc.com/ To watch CPMs world wide.

http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-113.26,30.81,298 To watch wind patterns world wide.

http://www.stormsurfing.com/cgi/display_alt.cgi?a=glob_250 To watch the jet stream.

I check these every day to gauge the safety (or lack thereof) of extended outdoor time or leaving windows open.

Every time there is an Earth quake, Typhoon, Or hiccup in that part of the world I watch with baited breath to see what will happen. On high CPM days I close up the windows to be on the safe side, And I don't spend any more time outside than I have to.

SquirrelBait,
You do realize that by the time that any radiation travels the 5000 plus miles to get to the USA it is a small fraction of when it left?

It also loses its radioactivity levels in the 12 to 18 days it takes to get here. The bits that travel by ocean are even less potent because it is in the water for a couple of years before it finally makes it to the US shores.

You are in more danger from lightning strikes than from the radiation from Japan.

Pauls, a good prepper never lets FACTS get in the way of good solid planning. Let SquirrelBait hold onto his theories....It ain't hurting anybody...LOL. Just funning with you both.
