I just got and e-mail from Miranda. They lost everything in a fire 3:00
AM, Wednesday. The escaped the fire with what they could grab on the way
out. Monroe has a 3rd degree burn on his back. Miranda's office was
destroyed, too.

They will probably have limited e-mail and usenet access until they get
some permanent shelter. The Red Cross is assisting them, but the RC is
stretched pretty thin right now. Is anyone physically close enough to
help them out?

Matthew (feeling particularly helpless)
