American Red Cross' Hurricane Awareness

Thank you for posting this, Nancy. It's very helpful information.

I remember when we were hit by Hurricane Georges back in 1998. It came through the Keys as a strong category 2 hurricane with 110mph. We were without power for three weeks. Salvation Army was down here feeding people. Red Cross also fed and clothed a lot of people.

My hat goes off to these organizations!
 
I agree....Salvation Army and the American Red Cross did a lot for hurricane victims. :)

Last year, I have been through Charley, Frances, and Jeanne last year (2004) as this URL shows: http://www.theledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050814/NEWS/508140399

In 1979 (I was about 9 or 10 years old at the time) and when I lived near Stuart, FL, I have been through David as stated here in URL: http://www.hurricaneville.com/historic.html

Hurricane David--A powerful Category Five Hurricane that ripped through the Caribbean with winds of over 155 mph, it struck the coast of Georgia as a Category One Hurricane on September 4, 1979. It then came up the coast, and hit the Northeast as a Tropical Storm with winds that knocked down tree branches, and even spawned some tornadoes on Long Island. Damage estimated from this storm was $320 million dollars.
 
that's good they're helping but i'm very afraid they won't help 100%.. because more than 100 people died ..and still counting :/ and most damaged ever in history. and the funds won't cover them all.. insurance are starting to deny the coverage because blah blah blah trying to make excuse. really sad?

few refinarys are damaged.. and cannot function anymore.. this is going to affect whole USA.. with its gas price, oil, heating, etc..
the two major leeves are damaged.. and might be more leeves will be damaged.. which means the city will be flooded for even more months to come.. maybe forever? New orlens use leeves to pump out water all year round.

but glad they're helping some.. but i'm sure it won't help 100%.. but its better than nothing :D
