The only positive here is that it happened early. If the same threat came 2 hours later when everyone was at work there’d be COMPLETE chaos. Kids would HAVE to be out of the school, Parents would HAVE to go them but who knows how far away those parents are? For many, it’s practically impossible to get there quickly.
You’re talking about thousands of stranded kids!
I don't know if you are being sarcastic or if you are a sissy.
