The Kansas City evacuation.


When they were telling people that they have to get at least 200 miles from Kansas City, Witchita, one of the evacuation sites, is only 190 miles from Kansas City. So they had to have moved the people another 10 miles.

I also have a question regarding Helios' impact effects. What does Lily mean by. "an impact radius of 4 miles"?

I think it means that the asteroid will land in that area or that most of the damage will be in that area. That was just my impression. Hope it helps!

Well even so it doesn't say it will leave a crater of that size of it will impact 4 miles of landmass, still the Arizona crater is like 1 or 2 mile radius. maybe the 200 miles is to be secures unless you go like "i step here im affected, i step there and im not affected" .

Probably The size of the crater. When the meteorite that hit Arizona 50,000 years ago it created a crater about 1 mile in diameter and the impactor was 90 ft. in diameter.
