Reply #28: The West Coast Will Get the Fallout

[aikanae]

The west coast - (I'm from Wa) - is warmed by Japanese currents and tradewinds. That's why it doesn't get the harsh winters lik the east coast does. I can't remember where I read it, but there are authoratative (meaning non-politcal) projections of it reaching the west coast in as little as a week, as a worse case. Crescent City, Ca and Brookings, Or got the results of the tsunami.

I think it's important to remember, a multi-reactor melt down has never happened before. It's compounded by the fact that the Japanese reactors were storing pools of waste on top of the sites too. Both Democracy Now and Maddow have had good explainations on that increasing the problem.

This would be a really good time for a vacation.
