They specifically mentioned the “Hurricane Shelter” bar. Anyone have any other details? Attached Files Last edited by eightzerobits; 12/22/2019 05:56 PM.

There are a bunch of people sitting at the bar, but can't really see the pic well enough to see if people appear to be online or not. Carol Hill
