Although I live outside of the area that was on lockdown, I am exhausted from following the news all day yesterday, wondering what would happen next. As I was driving north, toward my office, I heard a news person on the radio say that the search was going to be extended north, maybe to NH. I had a momentary second of fright, but it was just momentary.
Many, many people I know well were affected by the lockdown, including a friend from grad school who lives on the same street as the bombers. She was evacuated. I have another friend who lives in Watertown, and while she was not in the neighborhood of the search, she was posting from inside her condo all day; her sister does live inside the perimeter they established and she had SWAT teams in her home all day long.
