        Like yesterday, it’s been cut into two lines. Those that didn’t make it before around 9:45 have to give their name and number and hope for a call.

        Actually it sounds like it was closer to 9. Police are handing out water to people who made it in the back of the line. They’re expecting to be here until 4.pic.twitter.com/KZ6TcFQI6s

        These folks are the lucky ones. Even if they have to wait all day, they’ll still get seen. Everyone else had to give their name to a clipboard.

        Sounds like the state will be doing this for the rest of the week. They’re ironing out the details over whether it will still be located here.

        The line is still very long and people are still getting turned away. Every time someone comes out of the education center there’s a cheer.pic.twitter.com/GtlOug5kFa

        “You can’t help but to feel hopeless in this situation, you can’t help but feel that there’s no light at the end of the tunnel,” said one person who was turned away at the door.
