Michael Clemons, 57, stood outside in the storm Monday morning with a battery-operated hair dryer to keep warm.
He said he had to leave the shelter at the Family Service League on Park Avenue in Huntington “to stay out of trouble.” He said he has been out in the storm since 6:30 a.m. because “there are too many knuckleheads" there.
He said he’s been sober for seven years, partly thanks to the hair dryer.
