Depending on your location within the US, your elevation or altitude, and your model of Geiger counter, this background radiation level might average anywhere from 5 to 60 CPM, and while background radiation levels are random, it would be unusual for those levels to exceed 130 CPM. Thus, the "Alert Level" for the National Radiation Map is 130 CPM, so if you see any Monitoring Stations with CPM value above 130, further indicated by an Alert symbol over those stations, it probably means that some radioactive source above and beyond background radiation is responsible.
I think this is a smoking gun.

A smoking gun proving that most posters here star and flag but fail to even read the thread past the opening post? I agree.
IF one of the reactors goes into meltdown AND the trade winds stay current, AND there's an explosion to blast radioactive dust into the air, it would take 7-10 days to reach north america and would have dispersed to the point of background radiation by then.
It's one thing to be concerned and prepared, it's another to think the sky is falling.

I think it's all hype because we nuked Japan twice and didn't kill off the west coast also Chernobyl didn't wipe out the northern hemisphere. I live in beautiful Southern Oregon and I plan on staying here.
