Thx Skippy for posting this.
I agree with your comments hj. This might be the elephant in the room that nobody is talking about BUT preparing for.
Although the eastern part of this country would be affected CA, OR and WA would be hit the hardest. For you folks that live in these area's, have you seen any increase in FEMA or HLS presence?
I have friends in the Seattle area and they report that the helicopter noise continues to be high when compared to pre March 2011. Of course this could mean anything.
My friends in WA. reported to me about six months ago that "trash" from Japan and identified by local authorities as coming from the region affected by the Tsunami, is washing uo on the beaches of WA. and Vancouver Island, BC.
Interesting times we live in. :-))
