We missed a bullet- but the decimation in the Florida Panhandle will take years, if EVER to recoup.

I was in Waveland Ms (ground zero with a 25 foot storm surge) 7-days post Katrina for rescue and I know how utterly devoid the area in the Panhandle must be.

They will be pulling bodies for days. I pray for all those affected who have lost the life they spent decades building. Yes they are still alive- but I will tell you most cannot ever rebuild. The insurance companies and FEMA deny deny. It will take months just to clear the debris.

If you know any good organizations who will be there going forward for the people- that is who you might want to look into if you are looking to help. Everyone runs in immediately after the disaster- and yes while that's needed and the spotlight is on them help poursmin. It's the aftermath and long lasting repercussions where people are left on their own- with few if any resources.

I would love to see organizations formed to help with long term assistance like what happened post Katrina in New Orleans. I know the people of Waveland - which was decimated- got no help.

Huggs and Love to everyone here.🐾🐾🐾🐾
