...The emotions I feel are almost overwhelming.

The idiots who are staying. The historical treasures that are about to be permanently destroyed. The lives that will be lost. The economic impact to that state and to our country. The stupidity of the politicians.

It's just so massive that I'm having a hard time grasping it all.

Me, too.

I seldom cry, but I've been crying today.... thinking of what so many are about to endure... and so many of them children.

TV interview with two poor women with kids, no transportation, no money, nowhere to go. They're stoic, going to ride out the storm. No panic, no concept of what they faced. They were pushing their kids on swings in a nearby park. Hopeless. I felt like screaming. Authorities said they'd go through neighborhoods with buses to get people out and take them to area shelters. God, I hope so.

Those pictures that hole_n_one posted - you can see children in line. We're just at a loss for words.
