I heard about this last night and this morning on the news. I am surprised my mother and I were fine for it being as wide spread as it was. We didn't have any issues at all. We are in Arizona so maybe it didn't reach us?
I also heard about this on the news this morning. I am in North Carolina and I wasn't affected.
