A wave of worried Japanese social network users have express their feelings over the possible nuclear hazard triggered the devastating earthquake that hit the country last Friday.

A Facebook user shares his deepening concerns about the state of the crippled nuclear plants:"The situation at the nuclear plants in Fukushima is getting worse and worse, and I am getting very afraid of it. Now, I am going out for grocery shopping with my sick child in search for more water and other supplies."

"PLEASE pack up your family, important papers, family mementos, and get out of there," a concerned Twitter user appeals.

"In spite of the continuous flow of reports on the impact of the disaster, we have no reliable information on the potential range of impact of the possible worst scenario based on the current situation at the nuclear plant," a Tokyo citizen reports on Facebook.
