You live in Minot, North Dakota, a town of about 37,000 people. At 2:30 in the morning, in the middle of January and it is -6 degrees outside. A train carrying ammonia derailed a half mile outside of town.

Since you are sleeping, how would you decide that you were in danger and needed to take action?

I would hear the EAS message, except my radio is turned off because I'm asleep.

Oh, the local police didn't have any EAS equipment or didn't know how to use it

Don't all police cars have public address systems to tell me what to do?

Nothing on the TV - I'll go back to sleep

I know - I'll crash my pickup truck into my garage door in the dark to get out and escape!

The train car crashing into my bedroom

Bush derailed it.

If I am sleeping whilst this is happening, perhaps the Tooth Fairy would help
