When I saw this thread I thought "we already know. it was reported yesterday that it was in Ohio" but then I read and realized that it is great to have first hand experiences posted.

We need to rely on each other to make sure that what is being reported in effected areas is accurate. We already know that the number of deaths in Mexico is far greater than what is being reported.
