Donna Patterson Worked on Marietta St. at the Federal Reserve Bank. Left work and was able to make it around one block in six hours. Went back to work where I slept on the floor. Made it home the next day in less than three hours. What a horrible experience except for the wonderful humanity shown during the storm.
