Talkie Zoo: Bad news from Japan

It seems like every day I read more and more bad news from Japan concerning the horrific earthquake and tsunami. My heart goes out to the people there. So many have been displace, so many have already lost their lives, and the death toll hasn't even been fully realized yet.

Now, the nuclear power reactors are in meltdown. Fires, explosions, radiation -- the news just keeps getting worse and worse. There are thousands in shelters without heat (it's winter there), and running out of food and water. I wonder, can that happen here?

Some say no, but in Japan they had containment facilities that seem to be failing. We have them here as well. I don't know if they can fail to that extent or not. It might be time for many of us to look into rv loans should we ever need to flee an area where a catastrophic even could occur, and that could be just about anywhere. From earthquakes to tornadoes to hurricanes to wild fires to deadly blizzards, floods, and landslides, there is really no area in our country that anyone could say is 100% safe from events such as these. Who knows when we might have to evacuate?
