What a great story. I remember when we had the floods (well several times) but most recently a few years back and Southern Washington residential areas were decimated. Everyone in the Puget Sound area donated everything they could to local collection areas and the trucks were loaded. So many trucks were filled, they needed more trucks. When the roads were barely clear enough to cross, police escorted those loaded trucks down the highway South and news covered their crossing the waters from above. It sort of made you teary to see such a strong community effort to help them.

Our personalities may be a bit insular but I know if there was a local disaster, that's the way it would be.
