Now, if a 8.9 occurred somewhere off the coast of Oceanside, I'd had to start running.

Do you have an evacuation plan for you and your brood? It may be worth considering if not.

Maybe I should stash some emergency supplies up there.

VIDEO: This video from Tokyo Disneyland was filmed DURING and AFTER the earthquake. Note how all the guests are calm, quiet and collected the entire time. The video was shot around The Hub at Tokyo Disneyland as guests were waiting for the afternoon parade (called Jubilation!). I can only imagine how some panicked guests at Disneyland Anaheim or Walt Disney World would have reacted unruly instead.

I'm just horrified by the images being shown, and now they are admitting that a meltdown may be imminent at one of the five reactors they are concerned about.
