It's so quiet here

As night fell it became very calm. There are almost no cars on the
streets now...I live on a main road and I have only heard two cars go
by in the last hour. Mostly emergency vehicles but not too many
sirens. I am thinking maybe they don't want to increase the tension
here with sirens going all night.

The street I live on is the northern perimeter that has been cordonned
off by the police. I need ID if I leave the cordonned area and want
to get back in. There are police on the street keeping things in
order.

I will need to sleep soon; it's been an exhausting day but I am too
keyed up from the stress and worry.

I worry about the search and rescue teams, hoping that they find some
people alive and can save them. It seems so quiet here that I wonder
if they are doing anything at all, though I am sure they are.

I realize from reading posts here that the whole country feels this
tension and now truly knows what vulnerability feels like. It's not
just New York and Washington DC and Pennsylvania that are suffering
from what has befallen us, but the whole country, and we fear that
there may be other strikes. I hope you are all finding time to sleep
and be with people you love and sending positive energy out to those
who need it. I am trying to decompress so I can do some of that
