Turning Around

The big story that's kind of hard to get a handle on is the alrge number of people who tried to leave but turned around. The Litts, the Blogs, my friends Lee and Clarissa, Jeremy Binkley from Section A, and many, many others spent 8, 10, 12 hours on the road yesterday headed both West and North and decided to come on back. Many people had the exact same experience, trying to leave town on Wednesday night or at two or three o'clock on Thursday morning, and they returned by noon on Thursday.

Many had not made full arrangements to stay in town, because they were planning on leaving. So Thursday late morning saw everyone get supplies, and we are all now putting up the last wood, cardboard, and plastic on the windows.

One of my neighbors has used some kind of corragated alluminum. I told him we should nominate him for Director of FEMA.
