Holy shit... I hope everyone got away from those nuclear power plants.. once they start releasing steam from the cooling system.. radiation will be all over the place. If it catches into a jetstream, that radiation could even hit outside their country and cause devastation. Hopefully the containment measures in place will be enough to cause the loss of life to be at a minimum.

btw on a side note, I hope Oda wasn't near the coast or the reactors today! he must live so he can finish one piece! I'm having flashbacks of Stephen King when he got hit by that van and his legacy wouldn't be finished.
