True. The Salvation Army does a good job. I've been in an Epic floods (St Louis, 1972). Before FEMA ever came about. Our Catholic high school emptied out and all the boys went and filled and stacked sand bags for the better part of a week. Sleeping in garages and on living room floors in the houses we were protecting, eating donated food. It was amazing. The people we helped were SO thankful.
The Salvation Army came by and gave us each another set of clothes after day 3 (we were kind of rank by then), and the Red Cross brought some stuff for us.
And we watched those National Guard bums just driving around in their big trucks 'patrolling for looters'.
And the best part of it all ? NO SCHOOL ! :biggrin:
