I always have some dry milk powder on hand, just in case, and we always have some gallon jugs of water on hand. I like milk with my cereal or oatmeal too much, so in desperation, I can resort to that!

I feel so sad for the Japanese people, such a hard thing they are going through, and the aftershocks must feel like adding insult to injury. I have no doubt many of the children will have nightmares for years to come because of this. I do not trust anything they are reporting about the nuclear reactor situation, seeing as they say one thing and then another that contradicts the first, but that whole thing is just added stress of the already-beleaguered people.
