We took a paper towel swipe from our truck at approximately 5:30pm; that sample read 17 times greater than background level. Post Fukushima, and given that the Jetstream is far north of Saint Louis, the sample is unusually hot by a factor of two.
The sample was taken during a downpour and was preceded by approximately 4 hours of nearly continuous heavy rain and strong lightening. Given the unusual nature of the sample, we once again strongly suspect a recent increase in radioactive releases at Fukushima.

POTRBLOG: we got nearly 200 CPM in Durham / Chapel Hill, NC on a rain sample last night with an analog Detector (calibrated in July 2011). we are the folks that recorded 200 CPM in dry air in Taos in January - we're in NC now. we were hooked up to the Radiation Network last night, which was a mistake, as Tim (Mineralab) does not want us measuring rain while beaming real time on the Radiation Network -- so the graph should be there since we were mistakenly recording on the Network. We can send you the Geiger Graph if you look us up somehow. Facebook names: Nan Bhajani Tierra and Nokaoi Traverse.
