I know I donated as much as I could to those folks as well. It wasn't much, but it had to help a little.
I was just joshing you a little bit in that last post, not attacking you for your very natural reaction in the change to Charley's path, BTW. Hell, I'd have been the one cheering if it had done what it was supposed to do, I suppose. Gotta have a little bit of a sense of humor about this stuff, or you'll go crazy.
Thanks so much for these threads. I've learned more about hurricanes and the things that create them and influence them right here on FR than I ever had in years of watching the drive-by media and their hyperventilating.
Honestly, I cried when I hauled that truckload of supplies to the folks in Arcadia. I cried because Hurricane Charley was one small turn, and one radar blip away from people bringing truckloads of relief supplies to our area. Been there, done that. It's awful being on the receving end of the storm and the supplies.
