Hi Chris,

What a nasty mess. My heart goes out to those who lost everything. The sad part is that these people will receive less aid than those in Indonesia. There is no insurance to cover their losses, FEMA is unlikely to step in and they truly will be dependant for awhile to get their lives back together. If I said some of them may never recover, that would be the truth. Let's hope the Governor can muster up a Disaster Order and give them some help.
