Truly, I was not scared there just wasn't time to contemplate anything, we just tried to prepare where we would sit in the house and wait. Helpless feeling of sorts. Local news says the guy that made the error has been reassigned during the investigation. He will probably get promoted. :)

I laughed out loud at your post but there’s truly nothing funny. Sorry you had to go through that. If there was ever a time to have a dead cell phone that was it.
