My co-teacher just came in a couple of minutes ago and told me that the third and fourth nuclear reactors in Japan blew up and the wind is changing direction now headed to Korea. He told me I should text my family and tell them that they must take extra precautions to avoid exposure to rain, or touching anything outside, and if at all possible to stay indoors.
This seems so alarmist. I don't know whether to make heads or tails of it. Does anybody who actually knows anything on this subject have the ability to comment? He got the text from another Korean who got a recent news update.
We're on the Korean east coast at the moment, and I may cut our trip short and head inland if this is a viable concern.
EDIT The Associated Press just put this out 20 minutes ago

I just heard the same thing from my coteacher. This is pretty scary stuff, and this far at least, the Korean news hasn't given much information or clarification on anything. |
