@danielpunkass and is being unconfirmed by other reporters on Twitter. No need to stay away from “all fed sites”, that just scares people.

• Daniel Jalkut:
  @jeffporten Yep. I deleted my original tweet and retweeted a correction. Still don’t think it’s a bad idea to retreat from likely targets.

@danielpunkass it’s a very bad idea if every tourist in DC simultaneously tries to evacuate. Panics are most dangerous thing outside of BOS.

@danielpunkass I don’t mean to sound harsh.

• Daniel Jalkut:
  @jeffporten I can appreciate it in that context. I didn’t consider my advice as being interpreted outside the Boston area.

@danielpunkass no worries. I don’t know where you are. Just have experience with panicky, misinformed people, who might be your followers.

@danielpunkass NYC and DC are both hunkering down. I’m sure other major cities are doing likewise.

• Daniel Jalkut:
  @jeffporten Basically at the time of my tweet my wife was leaving a federal building in Boston, so my emotions are high, too.

@danielpunkass I have a little expertise, so the only help I can provide is sharing with folks with bigger megaphones.

@danielpunkass I assume she’s alright, since you’re here? I have friends in Boston with a dog you can hug.

• Daniel Jalkut:
  @jeffporten She is alright, yes. Thanks.

@danielpunkass if you have any questions about your family’s personal safety, d me for a phone number. However I can help….

• Daniel Jalkut:
  @jeffporten Thanks I’m confident we are safe.
