Its the locals that make a recovery, and rescue successful. If you look at the road to recovery in Oklahoma after major twisters rip thru, they handle their stuff themselves. Yeah Fema shows up and makes their presence known(they have to make it look good to get more money), but its the locals who work the radios, search for survivors, help clean up, do fund raisers, and move on. Places like New Orleans, and New England, which live on the gov't tit, they are still struggling to get back on their feet, after how many years? We either lay around and feel sorry for ourselves, or we put our boots on and help our neighbors. Luckily for some of our friends up north, we haven't laid around. Mind you, you guys survived a 1000 year flood. Nothing in the books for it to compare to. If you guys need anything, post on here or wherever appropriate, I know members on here will help.
