No details that I've seen, but I'm seeing the first reports from Japan's Kyodo news service that they are considering raising the classification of the nuclear crisis to the highest category. Wow, that is a serious admission.

They're also going to expand the evacuation zone and also start preventing people from going back and forth into the evacuation zone to their homes. They are finally sending recovery teams into the evacuation zone to search for bodies.

And, the same areas hit with 7.1, 6.0, and 5.6 aftershocks within 10 minutes. Some casualties. A triple whammy like that would certainly fray my nerves.

It's hard to know what to make of the nuclear crisis even a month later. I feel exactly the same way about the current economy, i.e. things seem calm and maybe even hopeful at times, but I feel a personal sense of dread that things could slide into even worse territory in short order. In both cases, the underlying problems and weaknesses have not been adequately addressed yet.
