(Before It's News)

Japan

ABC News reported that for the first time, now the Fukushima plant has experienced “epic flooding” that has caused 100,000 homes to evacuate. Mainstream Media reports the nuclear plant is now completely flooded as Japan got one foot of water, and people are in “grave danger” from the contaminated water leak. As of now, officials are seven publicly stating they are seriously concerned about radiation going into the Pacific Ocean. We’ve all been concerned, but imagine how bad it must be if officials are admitting that publicly. 

In the video below, you’ll see that tens of thousands of people have been ordered to leave homes across Japan after Tropical Typhoon Etau ripped through the country. Military helicopters plucked residents from the roofs of their homes. Imagine how that damaged nuclear reactor is holding up. It’s terrifying.
