The Red Cross has taken over operations of the Monticello High School emergency shelter, which has moved to the Earlysville Volunteer Fire Department.
Twelve people stayed at the Monticello shelter Sunday night. The Red Cross moved the shelter to the fire department to provide easier access to that area of the county hit hardest by power and phone outages.
The Earlysville Fire Department has no phone service as a result of the storm, so a ham radio operator is providing communications between the shelter and the Red Cross building on Rose Hill Drive until phone service is restored.
