Just about 45 minutes ago, Interstate 71 through the Norwood, Ohio area re-opened after police and bomb squads detonated an incendiary device...here's more info on the story from Cincinnati's NBC affiliate WLWT:

I've been following this story since I got off work, @ 1:00. I had no idea it was going on until then (since 9:30 this morning!). They're checking all over and underpasses, carefully.

Just glad no one was hurt.

You weren't the last one to find out. I knew nothing of it until just before 3pm.

I happened to turn on the TV, around 1:20 and there were breaking news scrolls. On all local channels.

Can you imagine if this had happened over the recent holiday? Yikes! What a mess that would have caused.

And Cincinnati traffic was already really bad the day before Thanksgiving. That would have made for an absolute standstill from Kentucky to Mason at least.
