Weird fallout (no pun intended) from teh quake -- the Yen is trading at 16 year high. Current speculators have weighed in, experts think, in anticipation that Japanese businesses/individuals will cash in on foreign assets and bring the money home to rebuild, etc.
In other news, the US has broken with the Japanese government's recommendation and is telling its citizens to try to remain 50 miles away from the plant site.
