re: Major quake off Fukushima. Tsunami warning issued

I've been following this disaster closely. Worse case scenario, we're all fricked. Fukushima was a major (and I do mean major) environmental disaster of epic proportion. Millions of gallons of radioactive water spilling into the ocean every day. Scientist were already observing whales in agony hundreds of miles in the Pacific.

Fortunately Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the operator at Fukushima, had succeeded in halting the massive spillage of radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean. The effort involved storing the recovered radioactive water in huge steel tanks. But erosion was beginning to cause leakage. The problem was the ground water level kept rising, flooding the damaged melted core of the reactor. So TEPCO came up with another bold plan to build an underground permafrost barrier around the damaged reactor. It was a long shot, but they had to do something. Initial reports indicated the permafrost solution appeared to be working. But another earthquake (with the probablity of a Tsunami) in the area would spell disaster as it could result in the fracturing of the permafrost barrier and more flooding, I haven't even talked about the potential damage to the hundreds of steel tanks holding thousands of barrels of radioactive water.

Not what I wanted to hear. They say there are no atheist in foxholes. Bottom line, all of us (including you atheist and agnostics) out there better start praying. And I do mean pray.

Not good.
