    I have several friends who are running or spectating. They've checked in and are fine, but my friend Dean can't find his roommate, who was also running. I'm heartbroken and so angry.

    @winniebee: Glad to hear that your brother is okay. I am shaking too. My brother and sister were watching with friends two blocks away. Even though I talked to them I still feel scared that something else will happen.

    DH just texted a friend and my old boss who work and live in Boston. Both of them are safe but were a couple blocks away from it. So scary.

    An emailed popped up in my inbox and said so far two people were killed. Praying for everyone affected by this!

    @winniebee: OMG. That must have been so so scary for you! Glad you and your family are okay.

    How's your DH? Isn't he a doctor? It's probably going to be a very long day for him today.

    @evansjamie: I believe that so far all reported deaths and injuries were spectators and not runners. Hopefully that means your friend is ok but just not able to get in touch.

    I know quite a few people who ran today, thankfully they are all accounted for and safe.

    This is totally sick. Nothing is safe or sacred anymore!

    We know this was a bomb now, but already a talking head on CNN just said Al Qaeda. We don't know who did this yet AT ALL. I hope people don't panic and injure, harass Middle Eastern people.

    So glad everyone's loved ones are accounted for and safe!

    This is so horrible. I was driving back to Boston when it happened. As a heads up to anyone trying to get in touch with people in Boston, even my texting seems delayed, so that could be causing delays in hearing back from people.

    @MrsTiz: You're right about texting. I've been texting with my brother and BIL because they were both on Boylston St. iMessage isn't working but texts are (SLOWLY) going through. They're both ok, btw.

    @highwire: There was a fire earlier, but they said it was mechanical and unrelated. Unless that just changed?

    @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: It is absolutely too soon to assign attribution. They should let the investigation play out and focus on the victims right now.

    Watching the press conference... 3rd explosion confirmed at JFK Library. I assume that's also in Boston... hope this ends and the city can be at peace, how terrifying.

    @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I was thinking the exact same thing - "Oh please don't let this turn into a blame game before we even know anything and have more innocent people hurt. Even if it WAS a radical Islamist group (which we have NO idea if it was so why assume), that has nothing to do with your Muslim or middle eastern looking neighbor."

    @highwire: Looks like I may have been mistaken-- I guess there was a new explosion at the JFK library...
