ladyarkles...sure appreciate your time on keeping us informed. I wish I had found this site a long time ago..have had so many questions over time and really had very rough time getting answers....you are great...

Lady Sorry about your son. We had a similar thing happen to my son also while he was still at county. He was hurt pretty seriously and ask for his family to be contacted, was ignored but thankfully a friend working at the hospital notified me. Thanks for the info on the hurricane . I am so thankful for you and all at PTO .God bless

Do you know if the unit 1 in Richmond will be evacuated or not? If so where will they be sent? Will we have a way of checking on our family member that is in the safp or not? thanks for any info you can give to me. I am a new member to the site and don't know how things work or what will happen due to storm..Sincerely, OnlyGodSaves
