Hi, Kathleen,
Maybe your facebook page will have some information about what happened.
It's possible it could have been a disgruntaled worker who didn't get
paid so he'staking it out on everyone in your building.

Yes that is the building where I live. It's not a rehabilitation center it's an apartment building. People of called it a home for the blind a nursing home and everything that it isn't. But yes that's my building. A lot of people are scared to death in there and you can't blame them. I mean you're sitting there watching TV or doing what you normally do and all of a sudden you hear something that sounds like thunder. From what I understand people could feel the explosion all the way to 10th Ave. one that's three blocks away. And they're not short blocks either. So I guess I've got 14 days worth of frozen food to finish and I may be there longer but I'm going to find that out on Monday. I'll call the relocation specialist and ask them what the deal is. I have a weird feeling about this. I wonder if it's a disgruntled construction worker that didn't get paid for a while. I don't know if it's terrorism I have no idea it could be tight but who knows. I can't really get a lot of information because I can't listen to the all new station because a you A.m. radio will not work in this building. I mean I could probably search for WYNS on iTunes but it would take me a while to find it. Especially with the ability to dictate in here sometimes it doesn't work. So if anybody can send me any more information from time to time I would really appreciate it because I really feel isolated and I want to know what's going on. I'll have to see if anything is on my Facebook page.

Yes, I did watch the news and saw that New York had this explosion. They said it was near a rehabilitation center for the blind and I wondered if it wasn’t the building you lived in Kathleen. I had dinner and then came on here to inquire whether it was the place you lived. One of the witnesses they interviewed was named Deborah. Wonder if it’s your friend. She was OK, but now the number is 25 people who have been hurt, but not seriously. Thank God for that. Glass was broken out of several buildings around that area at 23rd and 6th avenue. Thanks for telling us it is your building and thank God you are not anywhere near. They said on Fox News that people could feel the shaking as far as 29th and 7th. So, it seems to be a little more than what some authorities are saying is construction items being thrown into the dumpster. There was another explosion in a dumpster in New Jersey, Jersey City, I believe was the exact place at an area where a Marine 5k race was taking place. So, if there’s another one in Virginia, sounds really suspicious to me. Wondering where they’ll attack next. Usually groups don’t take responsibility for these kinds of things until all the damage is done. Anyway, glad you’re OK. Yeah, you may have to stay there longer until they can check the building’s stability and all the windows. Take care.

I don't know if any if you were following the news on this list. I hope that you are. About 830 tonight a bomb went off right outside Seles manner the building that I live in. 14 people were injured from what I was heard and the dumpster was used as a weapon. Police and fire and everybody else is all over the place. Nobody is allowed in and out of the neighborhood. Why would somebody want to set off a pipe bomb in front of a building for the blind? This just doesn't make any kind of sense and I was supposed to move back on the second. I wonder how that's going to change. I guess I'll find out on Monday. I'll have to go on Facebook and see if anything is on there. Is this is just really crazy. And then I guess a few hours later somebody set off the same type a bomb in Virginia. So it wasn't used in New York. Since I don't have a.m. reception I can't listen to the local news. So this is really crazy. But I didn't mean to disrupt the happiness of The list I thought you guys should know.
I'm OK I'm over in Stuyvesant town and I wanted to let you know that. My friend Debbie is OK and from what I understand my other friends are OK to even though I haven't heard from them. But I heard that bomb created a huge mess. Windows that were just put in to newly renovated apartments from what I understand were blown out. Oh boy what a mess. I have a feeling I may be spending more time over here than I thought. OMG I knew something was going to happen
