Twitter Stream with updates from Japan

My mother in-law went into work last night (Toyota Manufacturing in Woodstock, Ontario) & was told that production at the Japan plant will be resuming today. They also cut their power down same day as SE & on the 22nd will be resuming production again. So this is a good sign as to how their power is doing anyways.

Have also read that other manufacturing plants are also returning to work on the 22nd.

Guess they'll get better containment going once their replacement parts come in....which prompts a hearty WTF??!! They had to ORDER replacement parts...dind't have them on hand anywhere nearby.... DOH!!

Bump And also I vote for Raist being a site moderator seems hes doing a better job keeping people updated on whats going on.

[Relinaa]

I`d vote too ^^

I think Raist already has a good job, not that I know him but he said something indirectly about it. His employer ought to give him a big pay raise because he is valuable 'property'.
SE would be smart to try to lure him away.

SE would be smart to lure him away. Really smart. lol
