I see there was an exposure of one of the fuel rods at fukushima plant, reactor number two, and another explosion over night. Yet they also say they sent for robots to fix the things because it is too hot for people to get to, to check to see exactly how bad things are, so am I the only one confused? I think there is a cover up going on, I do..... Hope I am wrong as the jet stream is blowing this way....

I also read that there is a 70 percent chance of japan getting an aftershock of a 7 or more for three days and then on the 16th that chance drops to 50 percent. What do you do when everyone you knew and loved and everything you had in life just disappear? I hope I never find out.

Just turned on CNN and don't have all the details, but apparantly there was just another aftershock and they are once again on Tsunami warning...will it ever end for these poor people?  And so far about 160 people have tested positive for radiation.  It just doesn't seem to end for them.  I haven't been able to follow this that closely over the weekend, so perhaps the aftershocks and warnings are an ongoing thing.  But either way, enough is enough...I hope all of this ends soon for them.

The earthquake must have triggered the volcano erruption. I went to try to find it and thought I saw something that said Russia and Indonesia also had volcano eruptions, triggered by this earthquake? A lot of unrest in the earth right now.

I know we have or are in the process of sending a team over as well.  The International Red Cross is also very very involved.  In my opinion one of the best relief organizations..not perfect, but they are good.  I can't believe they are enduring even more.  Time to check the news again I guess...It's almost surreal..one thing after another for them.  So many dead.  So incredibly tragic.
