Some at MHS Shelter Heading Home

The Red Cross's shelter at was calm and orderly Sunday morning, with some residents already looking to return to their homes, Red Cross Officials working at the site said.

Dozens of residents of Morristown and the surrounding area had come theough the shelter, where they could find a place to sleep, food, coffee and updates about how the roads near their homes were doing.

"We really don't know about turnaround time or when people will be told to go home, but we have officers letting us know which areas are in better shape than others they radio us in and we inform the people we do have," Red Cross volunteer Rosemary Kulp, who worked along side fellow volunteer Sue Fiezler, said.

Most of the people staying at MHS were local, Kuly said. That's in contrast to nearby Mennen Arena, .

"We didn't have too many people here late last night, but with the , the police started to bring more in early this morning. But now [at about 11 a.m.], little by little we're finding people leaving," she said. "Families want to get back into their houses, especially with little kids, so they've been slowly leaving."

Fiezler said while the Red Cross had the situation under control, a Morristown police presence helped keep everyone at ease.

The two Red Cross volunteers had been taking shifts overnight, neither getting much sleep.

"That's what we're here for," each said.
