I got kicked out of school today!!!!

Sort of.

We were in the middle of our first period class this morning. The campus emergency messaging system started going off. Our cell phones started getting text messages and the computers started flashing alerts that a 'serious' situation was occurring on campus and the university was closing for the day. We literally got kicked out of class and told to go home.

Still haven't heard what specifically happened. But the high school was closed and the hospital was locked down.

This really sucks because it's not a 'free' day for those in my class. We're required by FAA regulations to have a certain number of class hours. So we'll have to make it up on the tail end of the year.

This is a totally wasted day.

Weather ????

Weather ????

Definately not. It's sunny & blue skies right now. ( A rare thing for da U.P. in the dead of winter. )

It has to be some sort of bomb threat, hostage thing or some wacko with a weapon or some other similar deal.

Even if that is the case, I can't believe how this thing has spread all over town. Schools and daycares are closed down and the hospital and clinics are on lockdown. I realize there are such a thing as realistic precautions, but come on!! This situation has gone out of control affecting people & businesses not connected to the campus in any manner.

So far all they're saying is it was a threat posted on the internet and there is a person of interest. I expect there will be more info on the news.

I can't believe the reaction over what some dumb assed kid put on the web.

Too bad that the cops will be dealing with this moron instead of the other veterans in my class, a couple who drive 60+ miles each way for a school that got canceled after only 45 minutes. You think I'm pissed??? It only takes me 15 minutes to get to school.
