I tried calling and i could not get through i thought that something was wrong with my phone so therefore i tried calling on my cell phone still i can't get through, i was very worried because i could not get through. at the same time i was getting ready to go to work, but i was very nervice thinking of my Family in new york. then i thought of calling my Brother in New Jersey He was not home so i left a message to call me back soon and to let him know of what was going on in New York. i left him my number at work, i wen't to work, but still i could not Consintrat on my work, i i told my Supervicer that i was worried because my family was in New York and i could not get in touch with them, so she told me to go home and to keep on calling my family, so i did, and in the after noon my brother called to let me know that our Sister and husbend and kids were alright. and my first words were Thank God there alright. then I prayed for all the other family members and loveones to be safe.
