All that went out the window. If someone was in trouble they risked their lives to save them. Watched it on tv for days and never saw anybody not get helped for any reason.

I look at the reverse...If I saw a boatload of Rollin' 60's Crips cruising around, I'd take my chances with the alligators...

There is also flooding in Asia, and the death toll there is staggering. The West is being incinerated, and now yet another hurricane is headed for Eric and others. Looks scary to me... Hang in there, buddy, keep us posted as best you can. Sounds like you got the shrink wrap infrastructure together just in time?

When I was young we had hurricane Carla, A guy floated for three days on a roof of his
house. He had a rabbit, a pile of rattlesnakes, and a deer. He said none ever bothered the others. Lots of times during extreme stress differences are put aside. |

We spent $500 to install steel shutters and we have 2 generators. I'll take a picture of our Alimo tomorrow. I admit we are a little scared. Hurricane windows are a scam, anything flying at 185mph shatters your safety! Luvya!

Best wishes. It puts a lot of things in perspective. 40 below zero and 5 months of dark suddenly doesn't seem so bad...

My God reading all your post leaves me without words as I can perceive your feelings, about things that here, so far, we see only in films.

The best area in the US is DC area. No earthquake, no big storm, not too hot, not too cold, not much snow. All other places have one type of trouble or another...

I always found Washington D.C. to always be the hottest in the summer and coldest of any city that I spent any time!! I decided Villanova Law PA right near Paoli Pa. A beautiful place to spend my 3 years!

DC was built in a swamp, they do have floods. It is hot and humid in the summer, and in winter they have snow- but it only shuts down the govt. so it is not all bad! Trouble? They have Congress and the Bureaucracy- more trouble they don't need!

I prefer to follow Fox Mulder's advice. I expect that all the countries we've helped over the years when they were hit by tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, civil disorder, etc will rally around and start delivering supplies of food, water, clothing, building materials, even money to the storm ravaged areas of our South. Somalia, Bosnia, Cuba, India, Bangladesh, all the nations we've sent relief to in the past will show their appreciation and compassion for our devastation...Right??? Because they're all well meaning and helpful people who remember their friends in time of need...
