My windows rattle and the ground shakes from the big artillery shells when they have live fire drills at JB MDL and I'm about 13 miles away. They've just started to announce when this is happening so people don't get alarmed and hunker down in their shelter in place with their Bible, rifle, ammo, Ka-bar, and cans of soup.

The "Daisy Cutter" bomb can be felt and heard for 50 miles. Since no one on this site knows if the federal government will be experimenting with this bomb, no one can factually tell us that citizens will not be effected. What concerns citizens is the lack of willingness from Obama and friends to explain what will be happening.
Will Mally what will be happening and why it won't effect citizens?Quote

So I wonder how is any of this going to impact them? Everybody it is going to impact has already been told. If you don't want to see convoys don't drive on the interstate. I didn't think the military had to ask permission or inform the public when they transported troops. I'd think that would be a security risk don't you?
Since when it is a governors job to inform citizens of Federal troop movements? Again it is just putting the troops at risk to score some cheap political points with members of your party that believe in fringe conspiracy theories. The real danger is in humoring these nuts and reinforcing their nutty beliefs. It makes it more likely one of them will try and pull a Timothy McVeigh.
Again when has the military ever informed the public of its training missions or troop movements?
But hey if Abbot wants to close all the Wal-Marts in his state because he thinks they have secret underground bunkers full of Chinese troops, I say go for it.

It's the sama here with Quantico. When they're doing heavy duty excerises windows are rattling and the ground shakes sometimes, it's that bad. It's not just next to it, it can be heard and felt for 30-40 miles all around.There's never any warning, people just know it and live with it. I would have to say I'd be a little freaked out if I saw a bunch of troops on the outskirts of town.
