Steve - So sorry to hear of all the destruction, loss of life and just plain inconvenience of it all. I'm eastern, PA, only an hour or so away from you. If there is -anything- that you need, or that I can do to help, pm me and let me know.

Keeping a good thought for you and yours... condolences on the loss of your friend.

John

There is also a high need for blood donations!

Thanks all

Steve,

So sorry to hear that you and your family are personally affected..

Best wishes, hoping that the planning for the rebuilding of infrastucture and homes is already underway.. and that it commences as soon as is possible..

We all know that it will take a long long time and that things will never be quite the same.

Usually, in the end we come out stronger individuals than what we were..

Good luck with it all

John

Steve sorry to hear this. I hope your daughter can rebuild the house. And losing a close friend like this is never easy. That storm did so much damage. So many lost everything. I'm not that far away, if we can help somehow please let me know.

Sorry for you loss Steve. What a good idea to post this because its very easy for us outside of the storm path to go on with our normal everyday lives and not be thinking about the East coast every minute, we need reminded of what happened. I will for sure donate to the Red Cross. Last year I went to Tuscaloosa Alabama with a truck load of cabinets for habitat. It was six months after the tornado and I was shocked at the devastation still present. We have been talking about building a kitchen again for a family affected by Sandy. If anything I can assemble a small group and come out East to help with whatever we can.

Again, sorry to hear the news.

Your family, friends and neighbors will be in our prayers.... Red Cross donation made.

While I was working in Florida, I had the opportunity to go through hurricane Andrew. It wasn't fun... I know what those things can do, and can only imagine the devastation. It was bad enough in South Florida (I was in Miami) and with the difference in population density... horrendous.

It's my birthday this week and long ago our grown kids and I got tired of trying to guess what to give each other for birthdays, so we send money. I got it from the three of them, matched it, and sent it on.

By the way, after living through a hurricane, I'll take earthquakes any day. You don't know they're coming, and are over in moments. Unlike hurricanes where you get to wait around for 'em and they last for hours.
