What a very rough time these folks have had. How sad some lives and liveihoods have been lost. I am sure many must have more sympathy for what has happened to so many folks in the United States concerning Sandy. No doubt many are grateful the waters didn't go higher. I wish them a speedy recovery and all the help they need.
