Talking to my friend now on the phone on the way home...he is telling me how people were told to hide in their closet and that entire families drowned inside of them. They were finding families inside of closets dead.
Walking up to homes and on the coastline all you could see was tile and steps. The water levels were just insane.
He set up an EMS triage at the only shelter open in Hancock County and there were school bus loads coming in...hundreds and thousands injured...walking wounded everywhere.

May God bless your friend and give him strength to continue with his work. It is just unimaginable.

Who told them to hide in their closets?

Hope you mentioned the warm thoughts of MOST of the Freepers here for your hero-friend. Hope he can get some rest and continue on in what must seem a never ending task.
In my neck of the woods they found two kids dead in a closet after they had started a fire when playing with matches (4 and 6 years old). As horrific as that is - I can't imagine multiplying it.

Glad to read your friend is still safe. God bless him, and all the workers who are doing all they can.
You missed some real live genuine 100% boneheads on this thread while you were out. Ignore 'em.
