4:00 PM - Yesterday, it was the neutron beam story and today there is a report of possible breach of the containment. (breach) Hard to know how serious any of this is and what the potential might be for major release of radiation. Just have to watch carefully. Nothing else to do.
Trains running more regularly today but not 100%. The local mall is open but stores nearly deserted. Very low level of activity on the streets and in the stores. Heard a report today of businesses considering moving operations out of Tokyo so they can be assured of stable situation. Staple foods fine.
Tried to plug in to efforts at relief in the Sendai area, but JRCS and CrashJapan both replied that they can't deal with individual efforts to help yet. So, the best way to help remains to give money. Saw an article about "Samaritan's Purse" getting a load of their emergency packs to people in Sendai and Miyagi. The US military helped with delivery. Glad to see these organizations helping each other. The need is there now. Had to turn off the TV because the stories of loss were just too much.
