Right now I’m 10 miles away and there a mushroom cloud over the area. There’s a roar coming from it, that sounds like a rocket engine.

Nothing on the news channels - they are talking politics, or the college shooter.

My ex-brother in law is a doctor in Big Spring at the VA hospital. Hope he’s not busy.

I had a map in post #7 but it disappeared. Big Spring is in the west Texas area of Midland-Odessa.
