Watch those plate glass windows!
That was the warning by an AEC spokesman last night as he cautioned homeowners and merchants against today's big blast.
Repeating previous caution notices, the AEC advised residents of Las Vegas and vicinity to open windows for the free circulation of air, and urged everyone to keep away from large plate glass windows.
Merchants were told to brace doors open, or otherwise provide for circulation to minimize the chance of damage.
It's going to be a big one!
