Disaster Update

Well, so far so good for the command post at Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio Texas. Jared's first day was fairly uneventful. Yesterday, they had him checking all the units that came in. He and the other guy must have checked in 300 ambulances, delivery trucks, water trucks, etc. He said he has one nasty sun burn. So far today, they haven't done anything. Quite a few of the units were sent to Houston to move people around and possibly do a bit of search and rescue. Word is that they entire command post will be moved closer to Houston in order to be able to have a faster response. FEMA has tons of food and water stored at Kelly Air Force Base and hopefully it is enough. Jared is enjoying the experience, although it is hot and humid. He is looking forward to doing things other than checking trucks in. Sounds like conditions aren't exactly perfect and is iPod was stolen out of his bag in the huge tents they are using. Some nerve! I am busy at home cleaning the house and tending the puppies and kitty. I have today and tomorrow off, then I am pretty much working non-stop until October. Might as well right? I will keep you all updated as I get info.
