Sorry to keep emailing you, but I'm a little freaked out right now. My parents are supposed to fly out to LA tomorrow. I called my father's dealership and just talked to him, so they are both safe, thank god. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't been able to talk to him.
Also, on TV a minute ago, there was a report an unsubstantiated report that there has been an explosion at the actual White House.

Logan airport and most major airports are now closed...the phones here are dead as well as internet...their evacuating the Tower, I don't know about my building though...I was in a meeting in the Observatory across the street on the top floor when it happened, then we heard the news and then sirens outside - people in the meeting started to freak out. Gov. Swift is going to speak on TV in a few minutes.
