Radiation from Japan

We need to watch the radiation levels coming from Japan. The radiation will follow the jet stream and if it's high enough it will cover half the Western U.S. 100- 200 rad causes death in 5-6 weeks and it goes up from there. Get supplies-- it takes about 2 weeks for the radiation fallout to dissipate it would only be safe inside and sealed for 2 weeks! Then I'm not sure when we could garden again. Be Prepared-- maybe it won't be that high-- let's watch it!

There's a chart at the bottom of this page of what happens at different radiation levels:

Here's a map of a possible scenario of radiation following the jet stream:
