Geez. Only 449 people in a shelter that could hold 3700 cause he "wanted to keep things to a minimum?" This might be horrible.

I'm wondering how long the phones will continue to work. It must not be nearly as bad as it is going to get yet.

Where ever you are now, plan to stay there through the night. Roads blocked. Weather intensifying. Interviewer wondering where the army and police are as gangs of maurading gunmen loot the corporte area. Giving out emergency phone numbers. Telling caller to stay calm. "We've got to remain calm."

Caller: No light. Very dark. The evac centers are in darkness. Police are focusing on assisting the elderly and children and they are really doing a great job.

Chris: Wind and rain have decreased for now. More on the political situation but I didn't catch it.

Caller from a shelter: 449 people in "the stadium" Capacity 3700 but he wanted to keep it to 500-800. 25 elderly. 102 children.

"There is a large contigent of security guards and that looting at a place (didn't catch where) but that report was false..." a "female doctor was shot"is confirmed and... the gunfire downtown a man being shot but that is unconfirmed.....police are advising that people stay in their home or shelters.

BTW power is out.... they turned off the power

the country is NOT under national curfew according to the superintendent. The DJ asked why not...asked straight out isn't that what it is..and superintendent said call it what you may....
