I talked to my brother this morning. He works for the National Weather
Service, just down the street from the Pentagon. He could feel the
explosions and was describing the smoke as we talked. He's considered
essential personnel. He's on until this evening. He can also see Andrews Air
Force Base. Natuarally, he didn't tell me what he could see from there. I'll
be relieved when he's home tonight.
My younger sister works in what could easily be a strategic target. (Because
this is the internet, that's all I'll reveal.) I talked to her. Obviously,
they're under highest alert. Again, I'll be glad when she's home.
Sadly, a member of my extended family is among the missing. We're hoping for
the best. But he works either in the towers or a building right next to
them. (You know how you just half pay attention to these things at family
gatherings...) Please pray for Jimmy.
My heartfelt prayers to all who will be personally touched by this.
lots of love
Anne
