Wondering about Emily -- are you packing up the RV and heading inland until the storm passes?

VA Task Force 1, the first responders trained in search and rescue for disaster response who are based here in Fairfax VA, just arrived home from Houston and a day later have been deployed south for Irma. They will be staging in Alabama for now. I'm sure other teams from across the country will be joining them.

Meanwhile the islands are getting hammered already.

Hoping everyone makes it through okay.
