What impresses me is the overwhelming effort of other nations offering their support and aid to the flood victims.
Good point Ed. Hats off to all countries who have stepped up to offer help.
What does not impress me is the limited amount of patience a few of the folks are showing in getting necessary infrastructure back on line. They seem to think someone can just wave a magic wand and all is as before.
On tuesday as my wife and I were returning to Virginia from South Carolina, we passed hundreds of electric utility trucks heading north from Florida and North Carolina to help restore power. These guys and gals are just the tip of the iceberg on the number of responders who are leaving their families and comforts of home to go live and work in the hurricane damaged areas. Many of these folks have very dangerous jobs and my hopes are for their safe return to their families.
