Oct 30

sirens and phone alerts went off at 6.19 am in my area , its amazing how fast you can wake up from
deep sleep and run to shelter , you only have one and a half minutes !!!
At age 74 its not easy and I dont always make it on time .
The lucky ones are those that have safe rooms in their own homes , most families are sleeping
in the safe rooms now and those like me that have to go outside to the underground shelters
are sleeping fully dressed .
