Somebody has to run by the grocery store and pick up some sandwiches and cake before they arrive, and maybe some clean clothes and beds would be nice to have when they arrive. Plus, I don't know, some waterhoses hung up in the bathrooms so the new arrivals can take a shower? They've been without running water and AC since the storm hit Tuesday, so most of them probably want to do a little tidying up and defunking before they move into their nice new digs. .
