He just had hip replacement and is not doing very well at age 73. I worry, but they say they are fine.... As long as they have food, the generator, gas and stay inside.... My brother can't shovel and neither can my sister in law. Hopefully someone will come take care of them at their home.....if not, I'll call one of my former students to go check on them...
