Reply to High winds shatter Cranston Street Armory windows, causing temperature drop by lestermagnum
High winds shattered several windows at the Cranston Street Armory — one of several warming centers open as Rhode Island weathers a cold snap — causing temperatures to drop on Saturday.
Gov. Dan McKee's spokesman Matt Sheaff said the building, which was housing about 180 people on Friday night, was preheated, but extreme winds broke the panes, bringing a chill into the main drill hall. Outside, temperatures on Friday had sunk into the single digits.
"The Governor has deployed his incoming Housing Secretary, Department of Administration Director, Emergency Management Director and the National Guard to assess and address the situation quickly in partnership with Amos House," Sheaff said. "The team is fixing the windows and bringing in temporary heaters."
The plan is to allow people to use other parts of the armory to stay overnight, and allow couples to relocate to a new shelter on Hartford Avenue.
The armory, which will remain a warming station until April 15, is one of eight 24-hour warming centers in the state, though many others are open during the day.
Wind chills over the weekend were expected to plummet as low as 25 degrees below zero, with the potential to cause frostbite in just 30 minutes, according to the National Weather Service.

Sat is OT for city workers. And at least someone gave a shit about them enough to worry that making money was more important than the lives of the workers. Unlike you and most of the people making shifty comments for no reason other than to be jerks.

They lost all their business and shut down earlier than they wanted. People lost power as well as having trees falling down on houses, cars, and yards. My point was proven. Get bent.

I really wish they’d reprise the sunflower field elsewhere, we’ve got several vacant plots of land in that area that are just grass right now. Or they could maybe find a strip of India Point Park.
