Surreal Day

[recalcitranttoy]

The high winds are really pretty nasty, and for those of us who live in the woods, there is the constant danger of a tree coming down and doing something bad. They closed the schools 3 hours early today due to power outages and fears that the trailers so many kids are in will flip over. The high winds down in Blacksburg are having an effect on the injured at those horrible VA Tech shooting scenes since med evac choppers can't get in and all casualties are at 2 nearby hospitals, overloading their level 3 trauma centers. 22 dead, 28 in hospitals. I sit and watch the coverage on CNN and wonder. Since my daughter is going to college in 2 years, what awaits her? How can we help the parents of these kids who are now dead or injured? Why did the shooter do this?

A sad and scary day on so many levels.
