"One can only hope that this is a wake up call for everyone nationwide."
Amen!! I was on the Capitol Beltway today and tried to envision all the "refugees" who might be there if something catastrophic of this magnitude happened in or around DC.
I was just talking to my husband about getting a survival kit together and some emergency funds and a plan of action if an emergency strikes us. I hope everyone will do that in the aftermath of this terrible thing that has happened to our neighbors.
