Brian will be blogging soon, describing some of the ways that the earthquake, tsunami and reactor damage is affecting life for normal people even outside of the 'at risk' radius.
From watching CNN here in North America, I find many things frustrating. For example, the reporters always say, "Here in Japan, you can see tsunami washing over the car in this video provided by the driver...". And "Here in Japan, the massive damage is devastating..." Here in Japan. Uh-Huh. I know Japan is a small country, but it's not that small. Luckily, the clips being shown, often from NHK Broadcasting, contain the city name in kanji in the upper-right corner. I was able to better understand the tsunami, as the video was taken in Chiba.
Also, Brian says that CNN has too much hype but few facts. He sent me this link, and this is more real, Japanese reporting:

It contains live broadcasts from NHK World - Japanese news in English!
