Groan...cell phone call from my niece. She couldn't handle the shelter and went home. Her building is circa 1960 and the police went door to door showing residents the safest place to be. She'll be in a 3'x3' closet. No electricity. A Handicapped sign just hit her front door - it had been cemented in place. She has a life raft at the ready and the police showed her and her neighbors (all elderly) how to get to the roof if they have to. They also marked the street to show that their are people in the building. Great!

On the light side - she did her hair and put on make-up so that she'll look good on the AM news. She keeps saying "Never again". She may move to Maine after all. I wish she was not alone through this.
Stay safe, people.
