We are sleeping on the concrete runway.

Sleeping may be generous. A C17 parked 50 feet from our tent last night, so all we heard was a jet engine. They won't shut down without an apc to restart (auxiliary power supply).

We have MREs that were in my garage. I keep them there for hurricanes, but I had only three boxes, and there are 20 of us and more are coming.

Diesel is in short supply. We got a generous donation of 10 gallons of jp8 (like diesel). The US Army rocks!

No sleep, and a mind-bender to see all this tragedy. If I could nod off, I might have nightmares. My heart is so sad for the people here.
