What happened to EPA's data from Boise???
Sanity check, please!!!!!
I mentioned to someone that Boise, Idaho got particularly hard hit with fallout, and they disagreed. They sent me this link. I looked at it and was shocked. This is not the data I remember! Comments please!!!!
I then went to Radnet Query, and I could not even find Boise listed.
I will continue to look through the EPA site, but I am looking for a "sanity check" from others on this board who recall what I recall.
Here's what currently shows up--this is the link my naysayer friend sent to me:

Sanity check here. Boise got the worst rain in the US fo shizzle.
I will go over to RadNet and see if I can find it, but I know for certain the info was there.
Apologies to all for my use of the phrase "fo shizzle".
correction - Boise got the
correction - Boise got the worst rain THAT WE KNOW OF. EPA doesn't do precipitation monitoring in very many cities. In fact, we got DUMPED on with rain in late March here in L.A. (almost 3 inches in one day) and there was never any rain testing anywhere in southern california. They only test drinking water and milk and air.
Boise got it bad. But we should not assume it was the worst, because we just don't know what the rest of the country got.
Agree with what you are
Agree with what you are saying, Boise got the worst that we know of but data is sparse.
If you live in LA, and want to add to the body of knowledge, why not have your soil tested? See this thread -

A soil test in you locale will let you know how much fallout there was in your locale. All inclusive? No. Better than nothing, yes.

Nothing for rain since 1 April? what gives?
Apparently, the EPA only
Apparently, the EPA only reports "detects" via RadNet, so the whole lot of "no data" is supposed to make you feel good.
What happened to EPA data from Boise?
I don't think the point is to make us feel good when we cannot find it. Seeing weekly or monthly results by history then nothing? I think their results are being blacked out purposefully or there is some motive that they are not being provided. The EPA has made searching for results incredibly difficult, a one media, one nucleotide at a time search made to make searchers bored and tired so they give up.
