According to accuweather.com following Friday's major earthquake 9.1 east of Japan, fears were raised of radiations leaks and nuclear meltdowns at power plants.
The wind direction may impact where the radiation goes both at a local level and even across the globe and even reach Los Angeles, Seattle, Honolulu, Anchorage in U.S.

Cove Guardian Marley, after many hours of fear and courageous attempts to save a women she and her Cove Guardian associates could hear screaming for help, posts about her experiences in Japan after the earthquakes and tsunamis.
This young woman who volunteers for Sea Shepherd's Cove Guardians, had not been heard from by her family and other animal rights associates, finally is heard from, is safe and has an amazing story to tell.
Message from Marley - via Elora West's linked blog:
“I…am alive. I just survived the worst thing I could have ever imagined. We were safe the entire time because we drove to the top of a hill overlooking the town, but we watched over the city of Otsuchi as it was completely destroyed.
We had just finished filming some of the porpoise fishermen in the harbor when the earthquake hit. It was so strong we almost got knocked to the ground, the cars were shaking violently.
Thanks to the quick thinking of Brian and Scott we drove to the top of this hill overlooking the town, and what seemed like minutes later the tsunami hit.
A 50 foot surge of water reduced the city to ruins. Their tsunami wall was washed out to sea, everything was completely destroyed. The ocean receded and then rushed back in more then 10 times, the entire ocean floor was exposed.
We saw houses floating in the water, cars floating, a ferry boat was washed on top of a house, and what didn’t get destroyed by the wave quickly caught fire. We were stuck on this hill because the road at the bottom on either side was completely gone.
The worst thing I experienced was this womyn who was sitting on a roof of something getting washed out to see and we did everything we could to try and save her for hours, we even stole a fire truck that was left on the hill and had the one Japanese girl who was stuck with us radio for help and use the loudspeaker to call for help. We had nothing, no boats, and we listened for hours as she screamed for help. When a local fishing boat finally did hear our loudspeaker, he looked for her, but as far as we know he didn’t find her, she stopped yelling.
We spent the night in our rental cars, we had a local Japanese girl with us named Iuka and we gave her power bars, water and she slept in the warm cars with us, and in the morning we got up and started seeing the dead bodies, a womyn hanging from a tree, the wave left her there, people in cars, total devastation. It took us an entire day to walk out of the town, rubble doesn’t even describe it.
The only way I can describe it, would be if a giant scraped up the entire city in his palms, crumpled it up and sprinkled it back down onto the ground. Hundreds of cars crumpled, folded in half, any wooden houses were either reduced to matchsticks, or they had floated whole into parking lots, on top of other buildings, some where upside down. There wasn’t one thing left standing, it looked like a nuclear wasteland.
Amidst all of this the locals helped us and gave us food, and we offered our extra water and blankets. There were small camps set up with survivors cooking rice, their dead loved ones lined up under blankets. Everywhere we looked there were people carrying bodies. We finally made it to safety after walking over burning rubble that was melting the bottom of our shoes, propane tanks were exploding around us.
One thing that was creepy was the sea life everywhere, fish octopus, scallops, all washed onto the shore. We all got video footage and pics but we have to wait to post them because of legal reasons I guess, have to copyright it all, but I assure you when you see them it will blow your mind.
Since the earthquake there have been constant aftershocks, literally every hour or so we get woke up by shaking, not nearly as big as the original, but this place is just rumbling. Thank you everyone so much for your support, the entire time we felt so helpless because we were totally fine but we couldn’t let anyone know. THANK YOU!

Please pray for Japan. The footage of the devastation caused by the magnitude 8.9 earthquake in Japan is absolutely heartbreaking. It was the worst earthquake in the history of Japan, and it was one of the five largest earthquakes that has ever been recorded. The magnitude 8.9 earthquake unleashed a tsunami that was absolutely unprecedented in that part of the world. 30 foot walls of water swept as much as 6 miles inland. Cars and homes were pushed along by the rushing water as if they were toys for children. Since the initial quake, there has been over 100 aftershocks of magnitude 5.0 or greater. Hundreds of dead bodies have been discovered so far, and according to one report, 88,000 people are currently missing. There is no telling how high the death toll will eventually be. Large areas of land are now completely under water and 4.4 million households in northeastern Japan do not have electricity. So will we see more earthquakes like this? Are there other signs that the "Ring of Fire" is coming to life?Please pray for Japan. The footage of the devastation caused by the magnitude 8.9... more

The entire world is in a state of mourning today as details regarding the horrific damage caused by the massive tsunami in Japan continue to trickle in. The magnitude 8.9 earthquake that caused the tsunami was the largest earthquake that Japan has ever experienced in modern times. Waves as high as 30 feet swept over northern Japan. The tsunami waters reached as far as 6 miles inland, and authorities have already recovered hundreds of dead bodies. Those of us that have seen footage of this disaster on television will never forget it. But this nightmare is not over yet. There have been dozens of aftershocks, and many of them have been quite large. In fact, there have been 19 earthquakes of at least magnitude 6.0 in the area over the last 24 hours. So what is this disaster going to do to the 3rd largest economy in the world? Japan already had a national debt that was well over 200 percent of GDP. Could this be the "tipping point" that pushes the Japanese economy over the edge and into oblivion?The entire world is in a state of mourning today as details regarding the horrific... more
