I see this thread going off the rails in the not too distant future.
as someone that has been under curfew and heard sirens the last few days. I can see it happening.
The last one...two miles from home. All of these little communites run together.
Like a small town. A lot of people know a lot of people and have interacted with them. I did not have that kid in my district, but entirely possible i have seen him or parents at the local Target. (yes, you cannot swing a dead cat in this town without hitting a target)
And yes, the weather person is the only one you can trust.
