Should we batton down the hatches? Do we get evacuated?

NO!!!
Most people will have heard about the bomb scare at the services on the M56, Junction 14.
Well...this is the junction where I live. We live the same distance away from the edge of the services as the motorway (more or less anyways).
They close the motorway and do 3 controlled explosions and they don't evacuate those living nearby.
The his bl**dy mayhem in and around the area. Roads completely blocked. We were coming back from a day out in West Wales when the call came through from my mother in law to say that she thought there was a problem at Shell Oil Refinery (at the back of our house), but whilst trying to navigate our way home, we heard something about there being a bomb and the road ahead was closed.
We took a little detour to get home. Once we got in, we looked on the TV to find out what had happened. There was indeed a bomb scare. 
Ho hum...it's deadly quiet at the house now without the noise from the motorway. No hum of cars and wotnots driving up and down.
Anyone got a spare hard hat?

Mumsie dear. It's a little closer than 1000 metres!!! It takes 1 minute to walk to the edge of the services.

Are you implying that the 
is dangerous? Surely not!
You are insured against that causing issues. A bomb is different. Although it's effect depends on the type of bomb. I suspect a service station is unlikely to get hit when there is a far bigger target at the back of your house or worse, alongside the runcorn bridge.
A couple of mortars and it's all over for the mersey basin. Back to washing in the sink then

I think we should all live somewhere else! Somewhere nice! Somewhere with plenty of sun and sand! Somewhere with a nice greenie/bluie sea and white coral sand! Oooooh and a beach bar!
