Is it not early morning? It always smokes in the morning.

@Ralph Unger not like this it doesn't.
by Nancy 5/11/2011 6:59:18 PM
like that? Not like that

I watched it & agree w/Mina-smoke started billowing fast and furious and all of a sudden it obscured camera
by anon 5/11/2011 6:59:36 PM
Which cam?
by Ralph Unger 5/11/2011 7:00:02 PM
@Ralph Unger, Cam = TBS/JNN
by WolfDK 5/11/2011 7:01:01 PM
The column of smoke coming from 3 was wider by a considerable amount.
by LM 5/11/2011 7:01:27 PM
Update on the Spanish earthquakes coming soon. It's going to take me a few minutes to translate the text. Both earthquakes were detected in Portugal.

My feed shows only garbage on TBS.
by Ralph Unger 5/11/2011 7:02:30 PM
@LM: exactly, it was really much wider.
by Mina 5/11/2011 7:03:00 PM
mine just went dead. Anyone got a working feed they can post?
by Nancy 5/11/2011 7:03:06 PM
@LM, smoke is now coming from the bottom of the #3 structure and not from the top as it was earlier tonight. Like I said, now looked like a smoldering HEAP.
@Nancy, YT feed is online: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FptmoVcgpqg[/url]

OOps.. not how linking is done here.. ;)

There was a 5.5, 46 minutes ago, quakes.globalincidentmap.com

@Bobby1 (re: www.youtube.com ) That video is creepy, but something has got to be wrong there. I see the geiger counter in the video reporting those numbers, but if the ambient radiation exposure in Honolulu were really that high for any sustained period, wouldn't everyone there be getting cooked -- quickly? It's a close cropped video. Could he perhaps be holding it near something (no idea what) to produce that result?

Elaine, I didn't see anything new in the TEPCO presentation, but it is definitely a nice accumulation of information.
Wolf, leave out the [url] and [/url] Just paste the http... link like it shows in a browser.

@Askwhy If that reading was valid, everyone in Honolulu would be dead in a day or two.
by Bobby1 5/11/2011 7:06:33 PM
Drudge report now picking up the quake in Spain.
by wtm 5/11/2011 7:07:47 PM
@Bobby-since you asked-could be that high-we are being cooked here on west coast-but not quite as bad .6 roent according to my unit-get one yourself that reads high levels so u can check-remeber geigers that read millirems or milliseverts become saturated w/high levels and give false low readings-get one that reads uber high levels-at that level in Hawaii it would still take several months for people to get sick-look it up frm chernobyl
by anon 5/11/2011 7:08:43 PM
@Askwhy, I have several CDV-715 and 717 they are old and most are uncalibrated since the 70-80's, all mine show different readings. Also they are tube powered and need to warm up for an extended period of time.
by WolfDK 5/11/2011 7:08:53 PM
all video links just spin now and don't load. If anyone still has good feed please make screen captures
by Nancy 5/11/2011 7:08:57 PM
@Markfm, Will do thanks
by WolfDK 5/11/2011 7:09:36 PM
@anon Are my conversions off? I thought that reading was like being in building #1.
by Bobby1 5/11/2011 7:10:05 PM
@Nancy, completely dark now, no lights ??
by wtm 5/11/2011 7:10:05 PM
@Debra I just went back to check times of first sightings of the major smoke and it corresponds to the 5.5 earthquake. Hmmmmm.
by LM 5/11/2011 7:10:14 PM
what time was the EQ?
by Optim 5/11/2011 7:10:34 PM
@Nancy, Have feed but its fogged/blacked out, nothing to see :(
by WolfDK 5/11/2011 7:10:48 PM
Japan time..say 3:15pm? ...Smoking started at that time
by Optim 5/11/2011 7:10:54 PM
EQ was 62 min ago.
by LM 5/11/2011 7:10:58 PM
@LM wow, I started recording massive smoke at 1:10 CST
by Nancy 5/11/2011 7:11:42 PM
So about the same time
by Nancy 5/11/2011 7:11:49 PM
I checked for earthquakes at the time but USGS is soooo slow getting them posted.
by LM 5/11/2011 7:11:58 PM
pretty much coincides..with the time smoke started coming..
by Optim 5/11/2011 7:12:01 PM
@Nancy, Japan had a 5.5 about 30 minutes ago, that coincides with all this, I do remember that the cam went out a few seconds. Could it be that we had something major happen to the #3 structure ???
by wtm 5/11/2011 7:12:39 PM
can someone check if there was a quake in the area about this time of day on Sat? (their early Sun am)
by Nancy 5/11/2011 7:13:04 PM
Quake at 18:14 UTC
by wtm 5/11/2011 7:13:36 PM
@wtm: The smoke subsided for some time...and 2,3,4 structures were visible about 30 mins back...then sun started rising and we don't see anything now
by Optim 5/11/2011 7:14:12 PM
Quake map I am using only goes back 24 hours
by wtm 5/11/2011 7:14:18 PM
Teppycam shows the two blue glows and nothing else
