  Exactly true. I live in the eastern part of EM27, which is extreme SE KS and
far SW MO. In grid EM26, south of me, parts of that grid are in three states -
NE OK, extreme SW MO, and extreme NW AR.

  And in the NE US, one grid can probably hit parts of 4 or 5 states.

  In other words, yes, give your city / county / state info!
