I did connect all the rest of the dots. Now I'm even more uneasy.

As always, I've gone over with the kids what to do in the case of an emergency. Mainly because where hubby and I work is close to their schools and they evac'd 2 buildings under bomb threat last week. The kids walk over to our work after school, and I wanted them to know where we would meet them if WE had to evac OR what to do in the event if another 9/11 type situation occurred. Last time our building locked down. Also gave my daughter a cell phone so she has some way to communicate if they have any situation at her school.

I have a new appreciation for the feelings/worry that my mother experienced during the Cuban missle crisis when I was in school.
