[QUOTE="SF, post: 120922, member: 1171"] I've rethought the way I worded my post, and I apologize to any I may have offended. There are just a couple of images and thoughts that I can't get out of my mind. One of those includes a young father of 3 and his wife. They tried to leave and were able to get out of the worst of the danger. They now have no place to go back to. No money. No gas. No family except what is in the car with them. I cannot imagine the deperation this man is going through. I cannot imagine what his wife is going through. Parents of small children, everything they have in this world is gone. He was employed, wife was unemployed, but looking for a job. They were living day to day, but doing the best they could. Now what? What will become of them. This is just one story of one family that is trying to make it through. My heart goes out to these people. I'm grateful I have not had to experience such an event in my lifetime and I won't even try to think I can possibly know what they must be thinking and feeling through this all. It is so easy to sit on the sidelines and say what I would have done. How I would have handled myself differently. Much different when you are experiencing it. I don't think many of us have ever dealt with such a massive breakdown in infrastructure, public services, etc... as these folks are going through at this time. [/QUOTE]
