I was thinking of just sheltering in place and letting Tico handle it when they come in.
02:46

Let's call the hot zone 25 feet diameter in all directions.

I'm only getting hits directly downwind and that's an approximate like 50 to 20 foot range so we'll just expand it out a little bit.
03:47
104, do we have a good traffic control stop down there or do we need to work on that?
03:58
We've got it on set off cones and apparatus in all directions.
