This pains me JJ, but this enlightens me:
"Roof is gone, but the firemen aren't." National Guardsmen were at nearly every major intersection - God bless 'em, the heat index was 99 degrees.
Thank God Vicki is ok! And what a good friend you are!
By the way, I had brought my 5-year-old and 2-year-old along with me; my son couldn't believe the destruction, and he was just so impressed to see the Guardsmen. He kept saying, "Wow, look at their guns. I'm so glad they're here to protect us." ... That's my boy!
