I live in Phoenix (actually Scottsdale) Arizona...Three million and growing.  In the winter/spring, there are also lots of tourists..  If something were to happen, I don't think it would be feasible to get out of town. Plus, you would be "out in it" exposed to whatever contaminate.  That's why I feel I would probably hunker down, and wait 6-8 hours.  I am still torn about covering one room or the entire condo. [color:"green"]  [/color]
