~~trying to reason with hurricane season~~

She's not knitting. She's trying to figure out the life preserver. I think.

The building they are in may be all ground floor. There may not be higher ground.

I've had coverage of this on since I got back home this morning. On one hand, I really wish I would exhibit some self control and stop listening, it makes me feel so weepy and on the other, I have a need to know everything that is going on. When I see people like us helping others I feel a lot of pride in my fellow citizens. I saw some guys who came into town with their boats, they said they couldn't sit at home when they saw all the people who need help. There's a bunch of stories like that. A furniture business owner opened the doors to at least 2 of his stores and put out the word that people were welcome to shelter there. I saw pix of people sleeping in his beds, chairs & sofas and people eating at the tables. The human interest stuff is compelling to me.
