If radiation can be seen floating in the air, I would not stay around

(by Ms. Ayako Terashima, evacuee from Isobe area, at General Welfare Center in Souma City, Fukushima Prefecture)
After the earthquake, we evacuated from Souma city, but we came back to our hometown since the amount of radiation was reported not harmful to the health. There are many people from the same area at this evacuation center, and we do not have to relocate.
