I had the biggest, BIGGEST, "OH #$%&" moment this morning.

While getting coffee, I flipped over to the news. At that second the ALERT "North Korea has launched missles" came up. At that very moment when my mind registerd missle launch, the power went out.

"Oh My God, This is the End OF Everything" was my first thought.

Then The lights came back on.

If that could have been set up any better it would go down as best prank ever.

I'm serious man. For that split second everything on earth stoped except my heart, it beat once, I could feal it move. Longest second of my life.
I have no more words to describe how messed up that moment was for me. Funny as it seems now, my life flashed before my eyes.

You are, of course, entitled to your own reactions, but I have to ask, why would you think that a test of a Korean missile would result in an attack on Montana?

And don't you think any "effect" of the missile would precede the news reporting? If the news is reporting a missile launch, it has already landed/crashed.

The hatred the North Koreans have for Montana is well known, but I don't think they would use a missile test to take out Montana.
