Yes, and to me, the threat is even more likely today, because these people are not rational, and there is no deterrent from assured destruction that they fear or would care to avoid.

Our Government has made sure that they will have shelter, but have not done anything to help the civilian population - so it’s up to the individual to do what they can.

Remember when the Presidential Campaigns were talking about how to spend the “peace” dividend due to the economic implosion of the Soviet Union? A CNN news director was a panelist at a seminar bemoaning the fact that there really was no real news without the Russian Threat.

I thought that was a stupid position, because to me nuclear arsenals disappearing and being spirited away was pretty stinkin’ dangerous.

While it is not on the top of my most likely list(tornado is still number 1), I do feel that such an event is likely to occur somewhere in the USA during my lifetime.

Yeah , I remember , but that was when sane heads were in charge of "Mutually Self-Assured Destruction" as a deterent.
Now we have Empire-builders, Narcissists, and Sheet-heads who yell "Death to America" who come over unprotected border to create suversive sabotage from within.
There are even online training manuals.
The enemy is within our non-existant walls, and the wolves are in charge of the hen-house ; and complacency exists among the uninformed , ill-educated, and feral 'utes'.
It is going to be a long, hot summer for the ill-prepared, and even those who think they are prepared .
