i have family there rw. they were smart and got out with the first warnings. they were also proactive and protected as much of their belongings before leaving. they stay stocked up in huge rubbermaid containers.

those who stayed and were not prepared, well, i don't think the government has an obligation to put people in danger to get them out or help.

there were people who said they didn't have food the next day.

but i do think the government should allow the residents to help with the cleanup and give them what is available. why truck in workers and keep residents out? they want the tools, give it to them.

with so much power out, there are huge sanitation issues.

my relatives are home now, because they were needed.

i also don't think blaming the current administration does any good. we, the people of the usa need to stand up and help. give to the red cross instead of indulging on going out to eat or the cup of starbucks and stop thinking someone else is going to help. we need to be that someone.
