wyoming in terms of size is larger than all the states of the n.e., could we get a location for the blowout? it isn't being reported in our local media so residents don't even now what is going on or if they should be concerned. is it near shirley basin, devils tower, evanston, where? just saying, i mean it is similar to a blanket headline which reads, earthquake hits california.
