It is expected to reach SoCal in ~2 hours. I am fine though, we live in a mountain desert town at 1500 feet elevation 50 miles from the coast.

The Tokyo Electric Power Company has said the pressure inside the No. 1 reactor at its Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant has been rising, with the risk of a radiation leak, according to the Jiji Press news agency. Tepco planned to take measures to release the pressure, the report added. The reactor's cooling system began to malfunction after the earthquake. People living close to the plant were later evacuated as a precaution. :-O
 
The nuclear plant is cause for concern at the moment. The cooling water and diesel lines are both offline and there is genuine fear about a core melt.

That would be quite uncool.
 
Was watching this morning before seting off for work. Showed Sendai Airport under water. Also showed a second wave approaching the shore ( as if one wasn't enough ). The aftershocks were of a major eatrhquake magnitude , too. It must be scary knowing it might hit you if you live in that Pacific region and there's nothing that can be done to stop it.
