Thank you both for the above thoughts. I live 90 miles south of the reactor (and about 60 miles north of Tokyo) and things around here are remarkably normal in most ways. It is extremely hard to buy gasoline, and many grocery stores are closed or have empty shelves. But otherwise, in this area, life seems mostly normal, with a few aftershocks every day and occasional loss of electricity. These are mere inconveniences. I say this in all honesty, but also with a great deal of humility, knowing that I am so close to devastation of epic proportions. The pictures that I see on TV are just heart breaking.
