Okay, if it's not an earthquake or a tsunami ... it's a nuclear power plant explosion! :(

The Japanese officials are saying that there was an explosion at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, but they have not yet confirmed what exploded. They had already evacuated a 10 Kilometer (a little over 6 mile) radius of Plant #1 where the explosion occurred and have now issued an evacuation for a 10 Kilometer radius of Plant #2. They are stating on Japanese TV that the levels they are reading are where they would expect them to be and are NOT suspecting that it was the core at this point. They are still investigating.

I'm 200 miles southwest of the plant. Please keep those closer to the power plant in your thoughts/prayers! :pray:
 
I hear now that it is a 12 mile radius. Some feel it should be 20 miles. The say that the winds are heading east so that is in everyone's favor. The pictures are just jaw dropping.

They also have said that Japan's shoreline has moved 8 FEET to the east and that the earth's axis has been changed!!!!

Many, many prayers:pray:
