Morning

The lights are on and people are starting to get up. We finally got a good night's sleep - the first real sleep some of these people have had in the last 48 hours. A moment ago one of the patients was screaming her head off (some of them suffer from dementia). The volunteers are trying to get a head count. That's gonna be difficult, because people are awake and moving around now.

I was following the path of the storm on television a little while ago, and it looked like it was sitting right over our backyard. Now the storm has moved northward. Outside it's a gloomy gray morning here in Tyler. We can expect the heavy rain and high winds to arrive here later in the day.
