Australian governement (via Smart traveller) has increased the area people should reconsider visiting. Now it includes Tokyo. They say its due to instability in the reactor. If you are in Tokyo now you might want to head south ASAP. Be careful everyone.

wow, that footage is unbelievable. so hard to imagine that happening. at the beginning there is a car driving down the street. at the end there are 3 storey buildings driving down the street...surreal.

I feel so sorry for the people of Japan . We can't even start to imagine how horrible it must feel to have your country in this situation.

it would suck to be there but inside me there is the slight all those cars have gone i know it is a bit selfish with the atomic threats but its in there for some reason

This is how the nuclear situation is being explained to the Japanese...

Nuclear Boy ! (a shit or a fart)

how cute...is that on regularly or one off?

[elrodeo666]

Its a one off by a guy called Kazuhiko Hachiya to explain to the Japanese kids whats going on.

But the thing is its probably the best way most adults there would understand.

50% chance in the next 6 days of another 'quake further north or south along that same fault line.

(That 7.2 aftershock on Sat was not along the same fault line.)

So if it happens, it may be adjecent to Hokkaido or further south and then south-west tucking in below Tokyo and around to Hakone.

Expected magnitude is in the order of 7.9

7.1 aftershock came a few hours ago.

Apparently on the same fault line or a tributary of it.

Hey Tezza

It was last night about 11:30pm and yep 7.1 but very deep just under 50km.

Been 4 more shocks since then.

I'm in Seoul at the moment and schools were shut down yesterday and kids sent home as rain with low level radiation came in from the SE from Japan.
