April , flowers

It's been weeks since the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan.
NHK broadcast the tsunami live, smooth arc of deadly waves heading to the beach ...
Too big a series 2-3 stories high with an overwelming push that crushed neighborhoods into swirling piles of pulverized stuff.
If you didn't run fast enough to higher ground you didn't make it.
And so by today we hear about how much water will be flushed out of the reactors into the Pacific ocean- to make room for the more highly radioactive water to be trucked away.
To where ?
