It was the miracle day and the disaster day also because there were a lot of miracle stories to be told.

While they may not have seen a person like myself in a FEMA shirt, they may have seen other disaster workers and again in the very beginning the volunteer agencies were providing support and that is the way the system is designed.

We're sitting on top of what very well could be an economic disaster. A lot of praying for a good soaking rain is all that can be done.

Here I was sitting at the top of the North Pole, thinking my whole family was dead.

If you walked away from it, that was your reward right there.

If they know how to get in touch with the police or where they need to go when a disaster strikes, it works as a good source of support.
