[Geoff Shively]

Geiger Counter build night!

All the workers at Fukushima were sent home, even the Fuku 50- there
is apparently steady stream of white smoke coming out of reactor 3 and
a fire at 4 in the spent fuel pool. Sounds pretty fubar - the winds
are shifting offshore again- anderson cooper got the hell outa there-
and should we be concerned?

The distributed crowdsourced web 3.0 Geiger counter thing on boing
boing is badass- the map wasnt working for me earlier- but try here-
