Jim, I'm so, so glad you and your family are safe and well. This is all so awful--people are just going nuts, understandably, but it's terrible that some of them are taking out their frustrations by shooting at those who are attempting rescues.
Karen called me today at about 4:30 PM her time. Day three and still no one has come. She says she has plenty of food and water, though I don't know exactly how many days worth she is considering plenty. But of course there is no running water and no electricity. Her telephone is working and it helps a little that she is able to talk with people.
She has a flashlight and a battery operated cd player, so she listens to music a little bit to keep her spirits up, though she's trying to conserve her batteries. She of course is listening to Al, and the song she seems to play most these last couple days is "Why Does This Always Happen to Me?" I'm glad she is hanging on to her sense of humor!
She is naturally worried about the future, basically homeless and unemployed, and no clue how long that will go on. If anyone wants information on how to donate directly to LadyKatia, you can PM me for info (not that she is asking--this is embarrassing for her, but I asked her for the info, and will share it in case any forum members want to help).
