Yeah, like a war zone. Friends and neighbors who might help you if your house burned can't, they're in the same boat.
Friends of a friend lived in LA when Katrina was coming. They packed everything they could in the wagon and split for a relatives in GA. Their neighborhood was in about 9 ft of water so they couldn't go back. I bought the two kids bicycles because that's what they missed the most. If only adults were so easy to make happy.
