For what it is worth. Jim says "Trinity test at Alamogordo". The
Trinity test site itself is closer to Socorro NM (Jim mentions the
newspaper) than Alamogordo. A wikipedia reference gives the Trinity
site as 35 miles southeast of Socorro.

Local lore has it that residents of San Antonio NM, just south of
Socorro, were told the day before that something very special would
be happening the next day
