This is a compilation of two messages I sent to the snakes list....... >Had to go to the courthouse in Connecticut to take care of a bit of a mess (long story, but no, I didn't kill anybody:) I went into the courthouse and approached the clerk's desk. All of the sudden, I heard doors closing and slamming shut, etc. A whole mess of courthouse guards and sheriffs came down the stairs, and announced, "everybody leave, now please." They scooted everybody out the door, leaving paperwork, everything right where it was. My sister works for the board of ed in the next building. When I looked across the parking lot, I saw my sister and her co-workers being shuffled out, too. I tried to walk over to her, and the guards wouldn't let me - they said you can catch up with your sister later. Can't call anybody locally now - keep getting the circuits are busy crap (but my ISP is up, obviously). Just thought I'd share - freaky. This was about 11:00 EST.

Stamford , Greenwich, and Norwalk hospitals, the ones closest to the NY border, were told to discharge *anybody* who can even walk, to make room for overflow casualties. Where I am, St. Vincent's, about 30 minutes farther east from NY, we're canceling all elective surgeries, and stockpiling blood and trauma surgery stuff.> As a former EMS worker, it's ripping me apart to hear about the loss of the NY firemen, EMS and cops at the scene of the TC collapse. I also can't even express how I feel for the families of the *hundreds* of victims. And yes, like Julie said, if you can find a blood donation center, please, if you're an eligible donor, do! You need to be >110 pounds, eat a good meal first, and of course, in decent health. I'm not going to post further, because at least here in the northeast, the news reports are a little conflicting. But keep a spot in your heart for all those poor people and their families.
