It is part of rad-net, a $50 million network of 148 radiation detectors around the u.s. that provide real time data to the epa that allows them to see elevated levels of radiation. and, to assess the risk. the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat. the other half of this story involves a place called the national atmospheric relief advisory center of berkeley, california and they are using super computers to crunch the mountain of data to come up with real-time computer models of w...

Harmless to the west coast. >> they are worried in hawaii about the tourism industry. all of these rumors flying around will hurt the tourism industry. >> we had that with the oil spill. we are, i think we had computer models from some agency that took the parts of the oil spill wrapped it around florida and brought it all the way up to ireland. i remember that happening. similar type of scare. and that never came to fruition because perhaps in theory and reality are two different things. >> i h...

Doing this work, they may be looking at dosimeters and recognizing how much theyre getting. it is remarkable work by people who know just how grave these risks are. >> invaluable perspective and context from our dr. sanjay gupta. thanks. another worry is where the global winds will carry this radiation. so far they have been light blowing from the west out to the sea. if they become stronger computer models and you can watch it play out. they show the current looping around the world would tak...

Earthquake -- when a smaller earthquake is just a smaller earthquake or when it signals something larger is about to happen. >> i want to ask you another question. were getting this information from the government about these tsunami arrival times, i guess you could say. its important to note that, just because theyre saying these arrive times happen, it doesnt mean an actual wave is imminent, right? we have this breakdown of where they may be coming, including areas around auckland, new zealand...

High. so thats sort of consistent with this idea. so the computer models tell us precisely really when those waves are expected to first hit. what they cant do quite as well is tell you how large they are. we do have this one experience that we know from the geologic factor, that there was a massive earthquake off oregon and washington in 1700 a.d., and there was a four meter earthquake -- it was a magnitude 9.0 earthquake, by the way, its estimated. there were three to four foot high waves that...

The package found on a loading dock and we do not have reason to believe this is anything but acting cautiously. we will let you know what police tell us when they tell us. best we can do. and the rise to freedom and fox report committed to documenting the rebuilding of the world trade center site for years to come and today we show you how the new tower is coming together in virtual reality in what is called the building information modeling room, the b.i.m. with advance computer models used to...

Sioux falls to fargo. points in between, we could have heavy snowfall and really strong winds, gusts possibly topping 50 miles per hour at times. heavy in terms of snowfall. the wind not quite as strong in minneapolis. 8 to 14 inches of snowfall. and back to milwaukee, slightly less. from 6 to 9 inches. a little more or less, snow can be spore ahead iks like that. a little farther to the south, we see the possibility of ice forming, not snow, but ice. which could cause problems in terms of power...

>> thank you, joe. a couple of ticks away from the top of the hour. lets check in with reynolds wolf. feet, not inches, of snow? where? >> out to the west. into the central rockies, is sierra nevada, the wasatch range. it could be kind of heavy at times. were going to see the snow, the strong wind today. were going to go from today and taking a look at the computer models, were expecting it to move into the northern plains, possibly bring in heavy snow to minnesota, maybe over a foot. and mond...

They saw it yesterday with the high winds in through the valleys there. and in through the pugetent sound area. winds gusting over 50 miles per hour at times, and doing damage there. so saturated ground, which they have had a fair amount of rain the past few weeks, and the winds taking down that kind of -- those kind of trees can do some damage, thats for sure. this is a number of systems rolling into this area and more rain is on the way. our computer models are pumping out -- actually, over th...

Criteria which means maybe well see around an inch but you get into the north georgia mountains and we expect to see the totals a little heavier. here is the forecast track where we think this thing is going to be heading. its going to be kind of diving off down toward the south into the east. well put that into play for you. there you can see dallas gets in on a little wintry mix and then it dives off the coast. the best thing i can tell you about this storm is originally the computer models we...
