Florida Relief Trains

#1 Postby StormWatcher2 » Sun Sep 05, 2004 10:19 am

As we continue to helplessly monitor Frances' progress across Florida, from our home in Central Mississippi, we have been praying for family and friends who we left behind in Florida.

But, I am pleased to report that we are seeing east bound freight trains passing through Ms. that are heavily loaded with water trucks and trailers. I can only believe that they are Florida bound.

So, it appears that even while the storm continues to pound Florida the relief effort from points west is very much in progress at this time.

I saw on the news last night that the Red Cross from Texas was gearing up and heading towards Geaorgia (I think) and will be ready to head into Florida when given the go ahead.

Yup, unfortunately, I can't go because they require a minimum of two weeks in FL. Too much uncontrollable stuff going on at work and the higher-ups say, "No." But on this end, there's still stuff that can be done.

I'm sure soon we also see the Pepsi and Budweiser trucks going that way with 2-liter and beer cans filled with water.
