Nuclear Meltdown

Could things get any worse for Japan?

I feel awful about what the people have been going through there the past couple of days. First, as we all know, there was a giant earthquake and a tsunami. But now, since the earthquake shut down a power grid, a nuclear power plant in Japan just had a meltdown about a couple hours ago.

Apparently it's going to be worse than Chernobyl...I live all the way out in Illinois in the US and they're telling us to be careful going outside because the radiation is traveling through the jet stream. They are warning us to take showers frequently and wash are clothes as often as possible.

5 more nuclear plants are in danger of a meltdown as well due to the lack of power.

Man this is kind of scary... o ~ o;;
