Glad your all okay. Lots of Prayers going your way, we Love and appreciate all of you.
Actually, I slept through some of it. It started shortly before I went to bed. When the first building-shaker hit, I was at my computer and I dove under my desk. (I've gotten real good at that.) It sounded like it was going to break my window. Then, I crept out and kept doing what I was doing. I had no idea what was going on out there.
But the blasts were still going on when I went to bed. Once I'm asleep, I don't hear a thing.
All is well here now and I've just heard from one friend at FOB Falcon. He says they're OK there, but he doesn't know all the details yet.
"....this incident is a real trigger point for a lot of vets."
I can appreciate that. Thank you for clarifying.
It kinda took me aback. Glad to hear you're ok.
I found out that a couple of the camps on FOB Falcon are destroyed. No casualties reported.
Sounds like these were some huge explosions. Maybe bigger than NK's "nuclear" test? Is there any seismic data on this?
Glad you're all ok...must have been a mess.
Thanks for the updates here!
Glad it's quieted down and you got some sleep!
"Is there any seismic data on this?"
I haven't seen any.
Dimez, thank you so much for the work you are doing over there! Glad to year you are safe!
Geez, wish I'd seen that before I'd left the house. My day might have been a bit less tense. REALLY glad to know ya'll are alright.
Yes!
