Thank heaven for places to go during disasters. A stadium isn't a bad place. In 2003, my neighborhood was evacuated to a hangar on an old Air Force base. This time, it's to an exhibit hall at a fairgrounds. Nothing's ideal; what you really want are portable walls for when you have to stay in those places. |
