Everyone came ready to work, and we worked hard. Everyone did, but we only made a small dent in what needs to get done. |
The police officers showed us a video they'd shot during the storm while they were inside the building. It looked like a pitcher being filled up with water. The water was rising so fast. It was crazy. |
We'd seen the devastation on TV, but didn't really anticipate the sights we saw. It was shocking. I knew right then and there I'd made the right choice deciding to go and help. I just couldn't believe my eyes. When you see a house which has floated from its foundation a half-mile away, now resting right in the middle of railroad tracks, you just don't know what to think. |
