The storm

[Rapier]

My comments were not allegorical, I spent 21 years as Chairman of a Fire Control District covering 1/4 of an entire Florida coastal county and 21 years as the Chairman of the Board of a Water and Sewer District in the same county, both elected positions and stood election for 11 consecutive terms. I also served as the 10 county Coordinator for all of NW Florida, on the Florida State Catastrophe Committee, an appointed position. I have been through 3 of the top 10 worst hurricanes in our country's history, in those positions.

I do not guess about such subjects, I know about them from being up close and very personal. I have held the bull by the horns for days on end, not once but many times. I have also never been paid one cent in salary or one penny in compensation for expense. I help because help is needed.

Right now you are seeing that the storm does not pass by, rain a little and is gone into memory. It destroys lives, homes, businesses, towns and counties. Some areas effected will be years in recovery.

My suggestion to you, if you are near the area, is to put a chain saw, groceries, generator, gas cans, ice chests in your truck and go help your neighbors that are in need. There is no feeling in the world like helping, especially when you are not expected.

Skinny, good on you man. Downed trees are a big deal, nothing happens until they are cleared from power lines and roads.
