I live nowhere near either of the coasts and I am at work today listening to the radio and net-surfing as details have been trickling in....

Even here, our major malls are closed, we have had some school closings, even the main highway which goes past our FAA building has been closed. Our airport here has hundreds of people stranded here from the flights which were diverted. We also have alot of military bases and top secret labs around so security is real tight all around. I work in a government building and people here are even panicked. It is really sad how our whole nation has been affected.
