We live about a mile from the grayhound track and there are tons of
trucks and open tents in the parking lot. It seems to be a base for
rescue workers.

A friend who was here when the hurricane struck left the next day and
reported convoys of utility trucks headed to The Valley. There are still
some places without power and trucks are pumping water from low lying areas.
