3. Add To This Cold Temps...

I just got off the phone with relatives near Hoboken. To say they had a wild night is a understatement. Power blew out early and they spent the night huddled together in the middle of the house...hearing the winds howl around them. The power is still out...they were told to expect it to be out til at least Thursday or Friday. They want to stay in their home but this morning the temps dipped into the 40s and I think that was one "bridge too far"...they're packing up and spending the next few days with friends outside of Philly (they have power and room). Others in their complex also want to leave but the closest motels are at least 50 miles away. They've been in storms before but this one really got to 'em. Last thing they're thinking about this morning is politics...
