Ugh. Thought about it too soon. Prayers to those involved. Hopefully nothing comes of it.

"If in immediate danger, hide or seek shelter in secure space," the message stated. "Barricade the door and dial 911. Silence phones and other devices. Stay away from doors and windows. Remain calm and quiet."
