I just read an article about the radiation contamination in Japan. Man, it is getting bad. Read about it here.

Made me want to bring up the prepare for your AO topic again. In the article they mention that Nukepills.com has donated 50,000 potassium iodide tablets to a Tokyo hospital. PI helps prevent thyroid cancer after exposure to radioactive iodine. Out of curiosity, I visited Nukepills.com to see how much these pills cost. Apparently they donated their entire stock. Even the PI drops were listed as out of stock, and most of their kits. Looks like they have donated or sold out of everything. If you live near a nuclear reactor and a fault line, it may be a good idea to have one of there kits in your house or car.

I am not trying to freak anyone out or help their sales, doesn't look like they'll need it any time soon, but who wants to hope the government and its infamous FEMA shows up to save the day before radiation sickness kicks in?

Check out this map. Looks like the entire eastern US is littered with reactors.

Who knows? Maybe I'm just paranoid and overly cautious, but I am thankful I am moving to the Midwest.
