[@Xandrya] Walmart might be an interesting place to have your character hiding. Read this passage I wrote last year...

[Quote]...When the lumbering Transport Aircraft dropped below the clouds, he knew something was there, but couldn’t tell what it was. Tracers again arced up into the sky. He could hear the chopping sound of several rotary wing aircraft to the west a bit. The transport aircraft then burst into fire along one of the wings. It appeared as though something was dropping from the aircraft but he could not tell what it was immediately. Then he recognized the sight of several parachutes dropping toward the ground. [color=fff200][b]He witnessed the C17 roll to the west, lost altitude and strike the Walmart.[/b][/color] He didn’t know where it landed. He assumed it was near exit 12, about a mile and a half from where he stood. He did however see the very loud mushroom cloud of brilliant orange erupt into the darkened sky. It lit up the entire area, illuminating the CH-47s lifting up and away from the park, where they had landed.[/quote]

In the morning, just around sunrise, the crashing C17 slid through the Walmart parking lot and hit the building itself. It would have shaken the structure significantly. A large plume of fire and smoke mushroomed up over the crash site. None of the crew survived the impact.
