I hope it doesn't get any worse there. I've heard more than 45,000 residents within a 10-kilometre radius of the plant have been evacuated and they are still feeling aftershocks. And now it's just wait and see what happens now. Despite this being a horrible event, if anyone can handle this sort of crisis its the Japanese. They are a pretty efficient society, so I believe.
