N. Korean missile threats worry some on Guam
Becky Weingartner was playing with her kids, ages 2 and 5, when the wail of an air raid siren pierced her living room, sending them racing outside in a panic.
The television had been on too loud, so she hadn’t heard a megaphone announce minutes before that the Air Force was testing the sirens.
“I ran outside, just praying that after the siren goes off that they would say, ‘This was just a test,’ and I could breathe easy again,” said Weingartner, reached by phone in Yigo, Guam. “It’s nerve-wracking to think that they would even still have to do that. And if you don’t hear that it is ‘just a test’ before the sirens go off, the sound just chafes you to the core.”
Weingartner’s air raid scare was about a month ago, when tensions between the United States and North Korea had begun to bubble but not yet started to boil. Since then, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has threatened three times to attack the island of Guam, an American territory in the Pacific since 1898.
Weingartner, 30, a military spouse, lives on Andersen Air Force Base on the island’s north end. Like many island residents, her life has grown more tense as threats from North Korea have escalated.
In late March, the North Korean military started threatening Andersen by name. Weingartner considered packing her bags, saying goodbye to her husband and home, and flying back to the mainland with the kids — just in case.
