According to the Red Cross more than 32-hundred people spent the night in 112 of its shelters in nine eastern states.

But the organization has had to cancel blood drives in those areas, so if you are able to donate blood, please do so soon. There is information on redcrossblood.orgor 1-800-REDCROSS (1-800-733-2767) or CLICK HERE

Also, this will be a costly response to help people. If you can help financially, make a call to that same phone number, visit www.redcross.org, or text the word REDCROSS to 90999 and make an automatic $10 contribution.
