...With the information out and very clear what to do, those precautions are being taken. Proof?...I live near a major street with constant traffic. Always hear some noise of cars going by. Now, no one goes by. It is the quietest it has been. Only time it was this quiet was on 9/11. People are indeed taking precautions. And those precautions are not that difficult to take.
