No-drink order in Old Massett, following radiation increase, Queen Charlotte Islands Observer, April 8, 2011:
[Emphasis Added]
Old Massett [British Columbia] has issued a no-drink order for rainwater after levels of iodine 131, an indicator of radioactivity, were found to be rising. … Seeing levels of iodine 131 in rainwater rise steeply (from unmeasurable to 1.1 becquerels per litre) between March 24 and April 1, he has since ramped up the testing to once a day. [Acting band manager John Disney] said the level determined as dangerous is 6, but because the tests are a few days behind, he is worried about continuing increases at that rate. …
As of April 5, the most recent results he’d received were from April 1. Mr. Disney was expecting more back later that day. …
As the band manager, he realized he was responsible for the community, so he went to the Health Centre and got a regime going. A private lab in Saskatchewan is doing the tests, which he says can be turned around in 48 hours. He also set the Emergency Preparedness committee in motion to come up with a plan. …
“At the end of the day, the community’s health is at stake.” So far he has been trying to share the information and post it in public places. He also has an direct email list and a connection with pregnant mothers and those with newborns, who are at a higher risk. He sent the no-drink order to other communities on the islands. …

You should not drink untreated water anywhere in Canada, The United States, Japan or the Pacific Islands. Please treat your own water and make sure it is safe before you use it to cook, drink or bathe with.

Cynically speaking:
Sure glad that stuff is no threat to the USA as FDA advises !

Norwegian Air Institute shut down its Fukushima plume forecasting service at the exact moment big Iodine ball is about to hit North America.

Hopes this will help you, but know that rain is key to Isotopes getting to the ground in higher accumulations.
Please stay out of the rain !

Yes, this is very interesting. BUT what does a radioactive cloud look like???

We will need to assume that the particles will be mixed in with it ! There will be isotopes even without clouds !

You betcha, it’s clear in Orlando today, but my Geiger counter is showing 3x more r/hr than two weeks ago. Still not hot enough to worry about – just do like doc fox says and stay outa that rain. PS – with gaseous isotopes, the levels inside your house with AC on will be the same as outside.

If your air conditioner has a recirculate use it, it will cool the air already in your home, also do this in your auto. it will get hot and I don’t know how many will be able to take the heat without air, that is what made Fl. living possible was air conditioning to save us from the humidity here !

“showing 3x more r/hr than two weeks ago.”
What are the numbers ?

I don’t want to give the exact readings because calibration hasn’t been done on the unit for several years. But I can watch the movement up and down and compare it to the first, or baseline, reading I took two weeks ago. If I think it’s getting hairy and want more precision, I’ll charge up a dosimeter and compare them as a means of calibration.
