Weather: A number to put in your cell phone

Just saw this on the news, and figured I'd share; it's a way to find open shelters in case of an emergency.

Shelters
To search for open shelters: text SHELTER and a Zip Code to 43362 (4FEMA)

For example, if you lived in Foxboro you would text: SHELTER 02035.

I texted 2 zip codes in philly and there are no shelters around. Yikes.

Be careful out that way, everyone. My family in NJ is going to be hit, but it seems like the worst will be further north.
