I am trying to incise myself in their situation. I look in my house and the items are worth a few millions. Just imagine what they have lost so far. My cars are worth some few too. My goodness. How can these people come back from this? Not just one person but the entire community. Even the businesses are all gone.

No bail out plan, no rescue mission, no shelter, absolutely nothing! Solely on your own.

May God help these people. I feel for these families.
