A strange time

Strange Days in DC continue as rumors of Code Red and DC evacuation continue. I've received emails today insisting we'll be at Code Red by the week's end, I've found out my company is prepared in case we're stuck in the office for a few days. I've found myself asking questions like "What's my route out of town?" "Where do I go once I've left?" it's strange doing disaster planning. I just got an email from the Corporate Secretary with details on our plans as an organization.
Public Announcement: In the event of the emergency, I will be headed to Pittsburgh, PA or Granville, OH. I will be available on my cell phone, barring collapse in the com nets. Once in a safe place, I will post a message here indicating my location, my intent and my health.

You can, but don't provide it to the creator. He said "Oh please, for the love of god do not suggest any names either comments or via email. I'll hunt you down and slaughter your family." Touchy, touchy...
