There may be some screw ups along the way, but we are dealing with rescue personnel who, at this point, are already tired. They have been working since last night to bring people to higher ground.

I've worked with these people and they are the best you will ever encounter, dedicated to saving lives and secondarily, protecting property.

Unless you have been in a flood, you really don't realize how overwhelming it can be and at the same time how courageously people stand and deliver in the face of extraordinarly bad odds.

For those people on the ground this is total war.

Thank you for an excellent post. I agree.
