Earthquake off the coast of Japan

France telling its citizens to get out of Tokyo:

: France has urged its nationals in Tokyo to leave the country, or at least head towards southern Japan.

This is a significant development: the first time a nation has explicitly said it does not believe Japanese reassurances about the safety of the Fukushima plant, about 150 miles from the capital. The comments by French ministers are very strong.

The industry minister, Eric Besson, told BFM television:

"Let's not beat about the bush. They have visibly lost the essential of control (of the situation). That is our analysis, in any case, it's not what they are saying."

The environment minister, Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, said the latest news about the nuclear situation "does not lead to optimism":

"We recommend that all French citizens who do not have a good reason to stay in Tokyo either take a plane or, if they absolutely insist on staying, head south."

While this is not an official evacuation order, Air France has already increased capacity on its Tokyo to Paris services.

I would also direct people to follow this Twitter.

The American Nuclear Society is posting legitimate reports here.

Please watch the Fox News link. It is actually very very very good.

That is a (by reputation) surprisingly good and levelheaded interview on fox.

That must be a first.
