In response to "This is not a moment to take your time, call embassy and GET OUT -- nm" by MDH

get out may not be an option at the moment, but i do think getting the embassy on the phone if at all possible would be prudent.

that e-mail she got was a little too stock response. but i'd monitor the heck out of their website as well.

(At least get someone on the phone) I'd be at the embassy with my bags and sleeping there until they evacuated me. -- nm - MDH Jan 14, 09:05 17
- Nothing on their site yet (idiots). And I don't have much more $ credit on my phone so I'm kinda stuck. Holed up with a beer and friends right now. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 14, 09:08 2
  - Can you put mOre money on your phone online? -- nm - miss amanda phones Jan 14, 09:39 1
    - pft, if only things here were so developed. - Hotkiss Jan 14, 09:42
- the only actual instruction she did get from the embassy was to not go out until things settled down. - TFox Jan 14, 09:08 13
  - yup. stay put, keep your head down and let all the crazies tire themselves out -- nm - decline Jan 14, 09:16
  - I agree. Stay put. But I would start packing up some bags in case you need to leave quickly. -- nm - pmb Jan 14, 09:16 3
    - good idea. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 09:17
    - Good advice. Have a crash bag ready by the door. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 09:17 1
      - also, if you have candles, matches, flashlights, bottled water etc. get it ready. - Andie Jan 14, 09:18
  - this -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 09:14
  - This is good advice. - Mel Profit Jan 14, 09:13
  - I was mainly joking. Definitely follow the embassy's advice, just be ready to do whatever they say. -- nm - MDH Jan 14, 09:11 3
    - the embassy is located in the most coveted suburb of Tunis, obviously. the only way to get there is taxi. no taxis are running. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 14, 09:13 2
      - i would assume that if they want americans out they will arrange transportation for you. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 14, 09:26
      - does your employer have a car/transport possibility? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 14, 09:20
  - This is exactly my thoughts. Bunker down - like she's doing - and see what another 24 Hours brings. They know she's there. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 09:10
  - At least call them and tell them where you are. -- nm - lileve Jan 14, 09:10
Yeah, I'm bare minimum getting a human response. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 09:04 1
- Everyone at the embassy probably already bugged out. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 09:05
