The fun time we're having here! My son is glued to the T.V. right now. I'm beginning to worry about the fascination with fire. :o)

I believe she is to the north of all this and the cloud isn't heading her way. Keep trying to reach her, though.

Tiffany Springs is up by the airport, almost due north of the blast, so your daughter should be fine.

Thanks for that link.

I read that there's some kind of gunk like molasses dropping out of the sky. ICK. Stay safe, all. Nothing to mess about with. Prayers for all in the path of that black cloud.
