Also the Salt Lake Tribune has the story.

Well I am rather concerned living in Utah. At least I don't live in SLC.

This was also on CNN.

I will keep preparing and am glad to have bought some supplies. Either way Time will tell as it always does. Just waiting to see how bad this gets....

It's not getting bad - it's just getting media attention.

If they covered all the other things people are dying from, it would look like the end of the world.
