That’ll teach you to know something. As far as shooting it down, I think we need some more gear.

From my own experience, a .22 can be scary as a 12 gage up close. ;-(

Sit back, say a little prayer, hug the wife and kids and sit back for the show. Not much else you can do... Why not go out calm as a cucumber knowing your last breath here will result in your first breath in Heaven? That’s pretty cool, right? Dang right!!

I was just thinking that if this lady was thinking about what to do in the event of a nuclear blast when the missile was already in the air... might be too late then.

We have 3 ABM cruisers well positioned against NK in addition to facilities in AK and CA.

“Hi, I’m Bill Clinton and two decades ago I struck a deal with North Korea that essentially guaranteed that they would have nuclear weapons by now and I also green lighted transfer of missile technology to Communist China: how do you like me now?”

“Come on! Let’s do it! A nuclear bomb might go off tomorrow!”

Note to all: Check for spikes in HI's maternity wards later this year - around October should do.

Yes, I corrected myself in post#5.

My buddy says he got nothing on his phone, cuz only smartphone people are worth alerting.

[Red Badger]

Good.

That matches my lack of reading down thread...............

Who in the Hell goes on vacation and takes their smartphone along? Probably the same king of people that put katsup on hot dogs

Mine was orange and white.

The truck, not the girl.

She was blonde.

[Squantos]

More than likely the Lak’anookie’s will put in a 3 step “alert” verification process approved only by committee to preclude any timely warning at all ........

[bmwcyle]

How do you test with people as lab rats?

[rktman]

Probably an actual truck too instead of a Ranchero. LOL.

[ataDude]

You should have gone to your safe room! Geez, Louise.

“Just as an aside, if you get the alert, depending on how quick it is, you may have time to brush your teeth and kiss the kids good bye. “

They should include a little graphic or emoticon thing based on the estimated time of arrival. Like 1-2-3-4 cans of beer.

🍻🍻 After that, it'll be wasted.
