We would have no idea of where is would hit until a few minutes before, so why panic anyway?

Don`t worry the next one or two will hit! And there will be not announcement until after the fact. Mass panic would not add to any survival. Best target NE-E USA or Canada....it is a cycle....why don`t the press put that information out? Because it would only cause more panic in an uncertain world?
