I guess it helps if we keep a sense of humor about them or we'd be freaked out all the time!<BR/><BR/>Turns out our siren was just a statewide drill - which was apparently not advertised well so no one knew about it!

I went downstairs, and they were just hanging out. They knew about the warning, but it wasn't a big deal, even if the TV was saying to go down, they didn't much care. They said I was welcome to go down to the basement, and eventually they came down to hang out with me.<BR/><BR/>Reminded me of how we treat earthquakes in LA. If it's less than a 5, you go about your business, and don't even pay attention. If it's above a 6 then you get under a table. Only response is you take bets on the richter magnitude after the quake.Jed Carosaarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775889983099808362noreply@blogger.com
