Twenty four years ago Hurricane Hugo flattened and flooded my little hometown, McClellanville, S.C. It took a long time and we still measure time "before and after Hugo" but we recovered and so will you.

You will see the best and worst in people, but you'll see more good than bad. Keep your eye on the pious people. They'll be the first to take advantage of the resources brought to help those most in need. Remember what Harry Truman said his grandfather told him: "Harry, if your neighbor starts praying too loud, put an extra lock on the chicken house, because he's coming to steal your chickens."

Now let's see what the Republican Congress does to help. Good luck on that one.
