Doesn't sound promising. Very scary.

CNN is reporting: "We are assuming that a meltdown has occurred" at a nuclear power reactor, Japan's chief Cabinet secretary says.

Update - Tokyo Parks
Date: 03/12/2011

Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea suspended operations today due to the effect of the Tohoku Region Pacific Coast Earthquake on 3/11. Theme park operations will continue to be suspended tomorrow and thereafter.

TDR will target 3/21 for a decision and notification on when to expect operations to resume.

This earthquake did not cause major damage to the facilities and building in the theme parks, and TDR has already proceeded with safety verifications.

The decision on the timing of restarting operations will be made carefully, taking into account the safety of the parks, and the recovery of transportation systems as well as the neighboring infrastructure.

Every hour there is new footage of the path of destruction the Tsunami has created...... I can't imagine how dire things are for the survivors and how horrific this was for those caught in it.

Makes our problems (financial, economic or otherwise) look very small in comparison to those in Japan right now!

my heart is breaking for the Japanese....i cannot stop thinking about them....
those who perished so horribly and those who now must live in the face of the disaster that has befallen them (and the potential nuclear catastrophe)...
other than America and Israel, Japan is the country closest to my heart....where i spent so much of my childhood and teen years....
i pray for them....i pray that god will give them the strength to survive and recover.....

My friend heard from her son...he is ok. The sad thing, she has planned a trip to go to Japan and see him in May....she's not sure she will be able to now...time will tell.

My wife was to lead a group of students to Japan in June and that has already been cancelled, not because of damage from the earthquake but because of radiation.
