Just when I thought I had some grasp of the enormity of the disaster, I saw these photos:

The Japanese half of my family are safe and sound, for now. A lot of clean-up to do, but at least they still have homes.

As for the Fukushima crisis, conflicting reports are to be expected. The country is in ruins; entire villages wiped out; millions are without power, food or water; transportation system is a shambles... the authorities will say whatever they must to forestall a mass panic. I don't expect to learn the whole truth about the radiation released for quite some time.
