Each time a natural disaster occurs we see the devastation. This photo spoke to me. All living beings band together to survive. Folks are told to evacuate but many cannot. No car, no money, no place to go. Shelters are full. Evacuations take 12 hours, people have 4 hours of fuel in their cars. Fuel stations along the way are empty. Not everyone can evacuate even if they want to. FEMA, State, military, first responders and volunteers rush in to help. Thank goodness for all volunteers. Thank goodness for humanity helping every living being. We have been spared but others are not so lucky.
So glad to hear that ya'll were spared. Praying for everyone affected by the storm. I truly understand what it's like to be flooded.
ReplyDeleteHi Marguerite, thanks, the wrath of mother nature is inescapable far too often.
DeleteSigh. And the millions of people affected by Typhoon Mangkhut barely get a mention. They will feel the impact for a very long time.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, thanks, I confess I heard about the Philippines but not it hitting China, sadly our news in the USA is more local than global and for me the danger so close is more consuming because of the constant news coverage.
DeleteThe volunteers are heroes, one and all. Selfless, wonderful people.
