Thank you

Melissa Shirker Brinser

Yea we have none on Duke n I have my 84 year old mother

My mom was without power too but for like an hour. I can’t imagine if some were out for any longer with some of these comments. Always be prepared. We have other resources in town that can be used with power.

Mary Beth Appel. FYI. Earlier

We will soon have to sit in the vehicles to charge our phones, only source of communication.

Hope it comes back soon. I have a graduate admission’s essay to grammar check for my daughter. No WiFi means I can’t get to the paper to edit it. 😢
