I thought this could be a new thread for today. BurbankKarl's thread did well yesterday.
Thank you Rob; and thanks for the link from a few days ago too.
Tonight I have left my window open. I did not want to hear the noises before. Now I hear each Israeli airstrike. They terrify me even though I know they are striking Hizbollah. Four strikes in the last couple of minutes. I may close the window, put my earplugs in and try to sleep. It is after 2 a.m. I am hoping for an evac tomorrow but have little confidence. Pray for the poor citizens of Lebanon. My family will pray for me.
I am sure they have other Iranian surface to surface missiles that can hit all over Israel.
Great video. Why again do we even care about the UN? Geez!
I can well imagine that Kofi was doing the driving driving!
Iran has longer range stuff.
So, South Korea reported ten Iranian's present at the missile firings on July 5th and may have developed the third stage. Says the short range missile fired can hit Europe. Can it be they are being intimidated by this, already, and why Chirac is already condeming Israel?
But you need to sign up.
Ola Knio, left, from Lebanon, yells for support as she and others protest Israel's attacks on targets in Lebanon outside of City Hall in San Francisco, Saturday, July 15, 2006.
I missed that, my husband and I had just been discussing the debka report Burbank Karl posted and he came out of his studio and asked if I'd heard this and told me what she reported.
Enough time to take cover..
It is quite possible, depending on how fast this escalates and who does what.
We are praying for you, your family, and the people Lebanon and Israel.
Thanks for posting link. Pathetic but not surprising.
That's a BIG WOW.
Last night as I tried to go to sleep- I kept remembering Robert Mueller announcing a few months ago they had detained Hizbullah operatives......at the (you guessed it) Mexican border...

Rebel_yell2:
1. Stockpile Clorox, 5.5% sodium hypochlorite, no perfumes or additives, use to purify water, 8 drops per gallon for clear water, 16 for cloudy. Expect and prepare for the runs.
2. Locate hardened shelter, underground, the more concrete the better.
3. Lay low, some members of the public will be angry.
4. Depend on no-one other than yourself for survival, assume nothing, see to your basic needs first, leave luxuries for later.
5. Prepare defenses, do not sit with your back to a door. Any mobs will be looking for easy targets, make them work to get at you and they will look elsewhere. Physical work, make them sweat.
6. Establish a secure channel to the US Embassy that does not depend on electircal grids for operation. Plan to lose electricity for an indeterminate time.
Some of these things may be beyond your reach. Do the best you can, make a plan, and execute it. Remain flexible, but remember to keep basic needs high on the priority list. you can survive weeks without food, but any electrical failures will cause pumps to cease operation, no water, no gasoline. Lack of drinking water will seriously impair your abilities as soon as 72 hours after your last drink. Assume all water to be contaminated. Contaminated water poses less risk than no water at all.
Hang tough, our people seem highly confident that they can get you out, but better to cover your own bases and treat evacuation like a bonus.
Pass the word.
Have had the news on since before 4 am. Usuall do anyways but this is one you really have to keep up on.
Have you registered for evacuation? or is there any way you could make your way out of harms way?
Well I've already taken care of all that. Mass as well.
