Funky:

I think “frighten” is an understatement. If that went off in a population center and the people found out about it, I think ape-shittin’ crazy would be a bit more like it. Of course I suspect that our government would do their utmost to keep a lid on such an event if it did occur: The calculus would be to let hundreds or even a few thousand die rather than risk millions panic and flee the cities. There would be no place safe in CA or east of the Mississippi if that happened. Cruel as it sounds, if you were in those shoes what would you do?
