Did that phone call surprise you? It did me; that's an awful lot of information going out that could cause widespread panic.....
I kept looking up thinking surely it wasn't really live...the anchor was ticking me off b/c I thought he wasn't paying attention to what she was saying b/c of some of the questions, but now that I think about it, I suspect he was just stunned and thought he was hearing wrong, too.
Very frightening...
Especially disconcerting b/c if she's correct, it sure doesn't seem like it's very 'common knowledge' about what's happening (or at least non of the other media I can find have mentioned that or are even live...but perhaps something more local is)...makes me think that it may get even worse b/c everyone's 'in the dark' about what's up...and if it's happening this quickly, it may be too late to do much for those still in the area.
