Smithville, about 50 miles southeast of here, was flattened.

That would be the area that caused Roy Oswalt to leave the team for personal reasons (he's from/has family in that area if I understood things correctly). I'm sure you knew that, I just didn't recall seeing it mentioned in this thread & figured I'd throw it out there.
