This is OUR AMERICA…..

This is OUR AMERICA…..  

If you have been watching the news the last week, and more so, the past few days…. You have seen Ashville N. C.  is in trouble. Water has washed away the roads….  The hurricane took house after house…  Even the people who still have their houses.. have no electricity.. no water … and for a while no roads..  Some still don’t have roads… But this past weekend..  there are trucks after trucks after trucks.. hundreds of them..  Workers, thousands have showed up to help these people who lost everything.  It is hard to watch the video’s of how bad it is..   

Hurricanes are no new weather hazards..  We have seen hurricanes for years..  a hundred or more years.. and it seems like there is more now.  I lived my young life in R.I… we were use to hurricanes..   But this one .. this one seems different. For one thing is Ashville is way inland from what a hurricane usually comes thru. It is more a coastal storm…  This one was more powerful than some of the past ones.. or maybe because it is more inland, it seems like it.

Before even FEMA arrived..  people were coming.. People with mules started a mule train to go thru the area where no vehicle could go.. taking in water, food… and what ever else they thought they could use, in those bad areas…  the ones no one was able to reach the first day or two.   Small churches are opening their doors to help give a place for people to go… opening their doors for the workers who have come from far away… 

THIS IS OUR AMERICA  Take the politics and the nasayers, the people who are shown on television shows and news..  that upheave our towns…   THAT IS NOT OUR AMERICA….  THESE PEOPLE in North Carolina.. the survivors, the helpers, those with little .. sharing what they have..  THAT IS OUR AMERICA.. 

AN I AM MIGHTY PROUD OF THATAMERICA…
