Evidently, the folks in nursing homes were left to fend for themselves. Some relatives were coming in to stay with them. Somebody yesterday said that in one nursing home, one nurse was left to look after all the residents.

They just probably didn't get enough liquid. Maybe were on IV bags and there was nobody to restart them, who knows.

What I can't imagine is a city who doesn't have evac plans for all their nursing homes.

dawn, I think that someone who saw that post called into Coast to Coast early this morning.

They mentioned people left in nursing homes with very little supervision.

What?? That's absolutely horrible, what is wrong with them?
