Hang in there.<br /><br />As for FEMA, ugh. They "helped" our city last year.

Have faith! And, I am very, very grateful that you and yours are safe.Desert Songbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320552900816326120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20550909.post-42089428734747009902009-04-29T08:54:00.000-07:002009-04-29T08:54:00.000-07:00M@ - a wonderful community college - we DO have ed...M@ - a wonderful community college - we DO have educated folks here!<br /><br />Junebug - at least there are some areas where you can't tell a single thing happened, so you can avoid most of the traumatic scenes.<br /><br />Pamela - there's so much that will take decades to regrow - houses can be rebuilt, but the trees take forever.<br /><br />Spellbound - I would SO LOVE to attend - I desperately need to get away! But have to pass this time - I will plan a trip to the area before the year is up.

Now I hate to think what it looks like. All those missing trees will never be the same. We had an F5 tornado come through near us a few years ago. The landscape never again looked the same in some places. You can still see the remains of those missing trees.
