SFCRamfan....I know that help is on the way, but I also know that there is a critical time period which can claim many lives. That time is already here. The lives will be lost and the people stranded will feel abandoned and the people on the outside will feel helpless.

I feel helpless now. I want to drive down and pick some people up or deliver supplies, but I know I can't get there without clear roads. I can't do much but give money and feel bad.

I am frustrated to know that so many of our national guard are overseas protecting other people and we are unprepared to deal with our own problems. Personally I don't think that the National Guard should be fighting in wars and protecting people outside this country, but that is my opinion and I am certain my opinion means nothing to our President and to the government.
