My sister's house is destroyed. She has absolutely nothing left from her house, lost 2 cars, she and her husband and son have been eating MRE's from FEMA since the hurricane and she's living in one pair of shoes, shorts and two t-shirts. Nevertheless, she still has a lot more than most people around her do (Good job, family intact, etc.) -she lives on the water in Bridge City, about 30 miles from Beaumont. When you're at the national, keep in mind there is a lot of suffering still in the surrounding area. Keeping on topic, Tammy, my other sisters, and I grew up with German Shepherds. What could we do to help families who were affected?
