Dear Gunnar, For those not in the US, we have been told phones will almost never get through anywhere in the northeast. We can all only hope Tom is safe and his phone cannot work. But you will be very unlikely to reach anyone by phone, and cell phones are not working in NY. Streets are gridlocked, and bridges are closed. Reporters have to go in by bicycle apparently. It is difficult to find any speech. I have been traumatized since I woke to the news flash on my radio. Thanks to you and Raphael. It is strangely comforting just to have it on the screen.
