Sunday::::: Pictures!!!!
This is the lobby and the Nurse stationed there. On a weekday this place is a crisscross of people going between west and east. The escalators in the background go to a giant room where all the maps you see on the walls are printed on site. There are s
ome beautiful graphics that demonstrate the severity of the damage and all.
The second picture is the main concourse of the building... most of the assistance, mitigation and evaluations are done on this floor. Note the bundles of cables up on the walls to the upper right. These are a combination of telephony, fiberoptics and Cap 5 computer cabling that enervates the building.
Here is a hastily created sign.. hopefully you can catch which one.. :-D I love our language
Here is the work area for a group called PA (I think it is assistance for individuals.. anyway.. the insurance and planners sit in this area.... ) When it is a weekday during the day this is very much like images you have seen of one of the trading pits at the Mercantile exchange in New York. Chaos is amazing in this area....
This is the cafeteria late morning and before they set out all of lunch. It has sandwiches and at least one hot dish each of the morning and noon meals. They quit serving dinner as the work load decreased so you have to eat out of machines if you are here that late... most are gone by 7 pm most days.

Thanks. This looks like I remember--mis-spelled words and all. It looks different when it is virtually empty. Of course, there are more cables now but we had an operation similar to this in Lincoln, NE in an empty mall. PA actually means Public Assistance for Infrastructure but I understand they have been charged with providing individual housing for this disaster in Louisiana.
Daddy, that looks my office all the time. Our office is a converted grocery store with really tall ceilings so you see all that stuff. We have over 100 TV's in our building of 300 people and that creates a cable nightmare in itself. I hope the weather is treating you well. It has been really nice here. We haven't seen a cold day yet this year. Last week we were in the lower to middle 80's for most of the week. Doug and I worked in the yard a lot today. We still have flower blooming. It is really weird. We are looking forward to our trip to Grandmothers over Thanksgiving. If you can make a mad dash 48 trip to TX, we would love to see you. Miss you bunches.
Love, Fran.
thanks for sharing the pics, nice to see you have the same setup as most places in general.
Hugs JJ
well, the sign seems to indicate the actual state of things, anywho, the warehouse I work at looks simmialr, there are windows behind shelves, windows behind walls.the place seems to be a composite of 12 differant building plans...
