Ralph and Phyllis Kreutziger of Marion informed family and friends by e-mail Monday that they are in Baltimore, Md., to assist victims of Hurricane Sandy.

They planned to be working at a storm shelter at the University of Maryland until the storm passes.

“It is raining hard right now and is expected to get worse throughout the day,” Ralph wrote at 8:30 a.m. Monday.

The Kreutzigers are volunteers with the American Red Cross.
