just the tail end when we got it dialed in clear enough to hear.
This is the Emergency Broadcast System. This is a message for all citizens within a 100 mile radius of any nuclear power plant. Please evacuate immediately. The power plants have all been in meltdown mode and can no longer be contained. It is eminent that all citizens move beyond the 100 mile safe zone as soon as possible. We will update this message with any further information once it becomes available.
Albert and I just stared at the radio. We listened to the recording two more times to make sure we heard what we heard.
My heart sank as I began to realize what I was hearing.
We were okay where we were now, but the people in St. Louis weren’t. There was one nuclear plant that was near the center of Missouri, just west of the city.
Once people realized that St. Louis was still inside the 100 mile range, they would all leave the city in a panic.
Most likely, that would lead them south, since north had more nuclear plants and it was the beginning of winter. And it would lead them straight to us.
I looked at Albert. He had tears in his eyes. I went over and gave him a hug.
“Don’t worry pops. We’ll be alright.” I assured him, knowing it was a flat out lie.
