the internet is down for most of Tripoli and the country but we are able to connect from a few locations. I am fine and so is my family. Things are relatively calm here. We have stocked up on food, bought extra water, and filled the car with gas. We also have bags packed and passports ready if we have to evacuate. Having said this, we are having school tomorrow and have no plans to evacuate in the near future.

Many of our students have left. One thing that I will be doing in the next few days is making a plan if we do evacuate so that I can continue teaching via on line. Online classes would allow my students to continue even though they are not in country.
