If any of us were rats in a sinking ship we would act like rats in a sinking ship.
Damn, this is sad. I have a dozen or so Refugees at my house in Austin and none have even had a chance to cry.
Good analogy. It's too easy to 'judge' from afar. I don't think it's even sunk in. I've been watching televised reactions of locals returning in MS to the ... places where their houses were. Just shocked, blank faces, some tears. It reminds me, in a way, of the shock, disbelief, the strangeness of time and events after 9-11. After 9-11, because of the work I do, although I'm not in NYC, my company and all related were shut down for a week, we waited, hoping to hear someone had made it, sad when learning of those who had not. Time was suspended. It was like walking in a fog. 9-11 was a very different kind of tragedy to be sure, but the same kind of suspension of time and unsettled feeling. And I'm not even there, it must be even more intense for you all. As the MS man on MSNBC said, 'there are no words'. I agree.

I have a feeling the tears will come. It is very sad. We are keeping you in our prayers.
