Anybody else picking up on this?


Laat night, I watched a live Youtube feed that a person was re-streaming from a local TV news station (KRCR.)

Interesting to see events in real time and a the sharp contrast of how the news was being presented earlier today (lots of misinformation but that is perhaps another discussion later.)

During the live feed, they had a reporter who was on scene of a very busy gas station. It would come as no surprise to members here, that the people affected were not prepared in any way and were waiting for substantial amounts of time to fuel their vehicles before leaving the area.
