<p>Post them here...Haverford's website has an emergency link that says they have generator power to keep them up, and if necessary they will deliver boxed meals. They told the kids to unplug their laptops.</p>
<p>I texted DS to unplug everything, and move stuff away from the window. I wish I would have told him to pack his carry-on luggage and put his laptop, double wrapped, in two garbage bags I packed for him, in case his window blows out. He has water bottles.</p>
<p>I also texted him that cell service would probably be out so he wouldn't be able to update us....so I'm coming here for comfort, LOL!</p>
<p>Thursday morning, the day after move-in, I emailed him a link to a pair of rain boots on Amazon, offering overnight shipping. I expected an eye-roll and instead got the shock of my life with a 'yes, please!' He got them. Hope they fit!</p>
<p>I heard that by the time Irene landed in the Philly area, it was a category 1. The buildings have survived greater storms (including the apartments) so I think that’s ok. The duck pond will be the duck lake. The main issue I think will be down trees and weakened trees from the soggy soil and winds. The Arboretum staff though is excellent. I remember after a storm, they’d always be driving around campus looking at the trees for any signs of danger and , if so, would tape off the area and remove any questionable limbs in a hurry.</p>
<p>I don’t think its over yet, not until tonight? Glad to hear the buildings do well, how about the windows?</p>
<p>Move in day was great, lots of help, I loved the scrabble t-shirts. LOL about the REI, I did check their website for rain boots at the local store but they were sold out, hence Amazon.</p>
<p>I just talked to my S who is a new freshman in HCA. Customs was rearranged a bit to accommodate preparations for Irene, but power has stayed on and things have gone about as well as can be expected. The kids got soaked in the customs olympics, but everyone is fine.</p>
