Radiation in Bay Area rainwater high, but weakening, San Francisco Examiner, April 4, 2011:
[Emphasis Added]
… Results released Saturday by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency show that rainwater tested in Richmond on March 22 contained 138 picocuries per liter of iodine-131… According to the EPA, drinking water is only permitted to contain 3 picocuries per liter. …
The [UC Berkeley’s Department of Engineering] test results showed on March 24, rooftop water exceeded federal drinking water iodine-131 thresholds by 181 times…
“It’s already decaying … and it’s not necessarily meaning it’s there at the level that is harmful,” supervising Professor Kai Vetter said. …

I live in Northern California, and note that we have RAIN in the forecast for April 6th and 7th … so, I guess that means plenty of deposition if both weather and plume forecasts are correct. Keep children and pets out of the rain!
Not much I can do personally–I am one of a small percentage already hypersensitive to iodine. I am more worried about what it means for agriculture, especially local raw milk dairies and family-owned organic farms.
Just take precautions (stay out of the rain) (buy bottle water by the gallons) untill there is some real inf. on the results of rain fall, giving us clues on the rest.
