A Geiger counter is not the proper way to give an accurate sample of incoming versus passive radiation. Granted it will show fluctuations.
Hawaii is in no danger. As is the rest of the country. Typical tv fearmongering. At the moment, everything is diluted to the point of non issue, and should remain as such unless the reactor loses containment or detonates. The reactor is melting down, but is still contained. Radiation output is still non lethal on site. Largely cesium releases from the fuel.
With the jet stream and reactor conditions, I'm about as worried about the price of gas.
