Conditions Worse

Well it is now Sunday and they still have no, heat, no water, no power. They have been eating cold food for 3 days and Cliff said that is going bad. They did get out today and found a little Chinese place that was serving appetizers and had their first hot meal. Then they went toWalmart which had opened for 3 hours to let people get necessities. Crazy stuff. Cliff says it's quite a lesson in what happens when technology goes down. This was his first rotation up there that he didn't take a couple hundred dollars in cash with him and boy did he regret it. When a few places did open without power they couldn't take credit/debit cards so it was cash only. Cliff had just run out of cash when Walmart let him get $40 cash back and saved him. He sat in a truck one day and charged his phone and then had a half battery on his lap top and used that to charge it the next day. It is a mess. Cliff said that they are gonna have to do something soon cause the sanitary conditions are horrible with no water. I don't know what they are gonna do cause the airport is closed but they better do something soon or Cliff said there is gonna be a riot. It is frightening with him up there and if communication was cut off I'd have no way to contact him. I told him I would start from here and come get him but he told me to keep my butt at home and he'd get to me so I have learned to mind so I did, but I wanted to go find him. I am worried.
