I spent a few hours Sunday helping out our friends and former neighbors. Can we say ICKY mud throughout the garage?!?!
Kudos to Home Depot for sending folks down there from their stores to help (I assume HD is paying for them to be there). They brought pumps to de-water crawl spaces (nasty "basement" pools...); loads of boxes for people to pack up stuff to move; and hauled away soaked sand bags.
The Red Cross has been down there working on handing out supplies to people (the squeegee was GREAT) and food and helping as they do.
King County folks were down there too, helping with trash removal and other things.
Volunteers. Many stories of folks just down there with no connection to the people impacted -- just working away. A couple of guys pulled up to our friend's driveway and started loading up the back of their pickup with garbage to help haul it away!
Of course, we need to figure out why the release of water caused so much devastation and why no one there got any warning!
TTFN
