It’s getting windy now in the Berkshires, Monday morning Oct.29, 2012, and before it gets dark, we expect hurricane Sandy to further help in our recovery from a very dry summer, to say the least. the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) offers shelter from the storm: search for open shelters by texting: SHELTER and a Zip Code to 43362 (4FEMA). Ex: Shelter 01234 (std rates apply). The American Red Cross has posted an interactive map where you can locate your nearest shelter options, or contact your local Red Cross chapter.
