US Capital Evacuated, False Alarm
There has been a high alert and evacuation ordered at the US Capital. Reports now indicate that the threat was a false alarm.
The all clear was announced Wednesday evening after multiple outlets reported the initial "threat".

It is a scary time for sure around the world. The threat of war is always on our minds as we watch the war unfold in Ukraine. Recently, both Russian and Ukrainian leaders have announced a heightened surge and a new phase in the war that has taken dozens of civilian lives. Neither side seems to budge.
It was also just days ago that North Korea has claimed to successfully launched a rocket capable of carrying some sort of nuclear payload. The globe is on edge and an incident like the one in the US Capital on Wednesday, although a false alarm, is terrifying.
