Lou and Pedal are probably OK but I don't know if they have any family or friends that have been affected. My BIL's bestfriend and family had to flee but they are fine as far as I know. Amazing no one has died (aside from 2 from a car accident).

SistaCallie: Good news to hear. Do stay safe!
As a good will gesture, why don't you organise a a collection on behalf of the victims of this tragedy if you are genuinely concerned, or are you one of those " all talk , no action" people so often found in your beloved country.?

It's true though Tom .. People often voice their concerns to make themselves look nice in order to get popularity votes & yet the true Heroes let their actions do the talking.

I have voiced that also. I also hope it remains that way.

Ouch! Now you know stero typing countries is like living in a box. I do know in my area there are several different organizations that are doing collections. So I am fortunate and can just donate. I have organized donation events for certain things before and have found even on my small scale of organization we did quite well. But think it is wonderful when the big organizations step in to help here. They can gather so much more than a little peon like me can gather. Now please do tell why do you think we are a country of " all talk , no action" in all honesty it would be useful knowledge to me to understand this. Can't try and fix something if I don't see where it is broken. And if these people here are so often found it would help to know more. So please do tell.

I wasn't specifically talking about the general public as a whole.. I'm sure there are some wonderful people, like yourself , who dedicate a lot of time & money towards good causes.. My reference was aimed at your government at those who lost their homes during those horrific hurricanes a few years back, I don't remember the specific dates.. Watching a documentary, those homes, to this day, lay derelict & there are still thousands of victims homeless.. To me, that sounds like an uncaring nation, even after the false promises made by your government .

Sadly I agree with you my government is uncaring when it comes to their own citizens. Our vetrans health system is a shambles and that is why a lot of our citizens do not trust the government with their health needs. They have not done good with government health care plans they have had. The hurricane you must be referring to must of been Katrina. And some areas will most likely not ever be rebuilt. And should not be rebuilt. There were areas that were so low that they were just a disaster waiting to happen. And once it did happen taking almost 2000 lives I don't think our government was prepared for this kind of catastrophe. I know when my area got hit back to back in 2004 with two hurricanes a year before Katrina the government did a better job but we were not on the scale of Katrina. Today Katrinas victims are still trying to go through the red tape. And some actually lost their money to rebuild from people who swooped in and took advantage of this bad situation. They got hoodwinked So this does not happen in other countries?
