Kudos and Thanks to ALL Who Helped

[damama55]

Kudos to ALL who did their very best to help those of us that were in threat of being flooded. Here in Lake Country, we had many, many people helping with filling sandbags, and sand bagging all around homes and sites that MIGHT be flooded. Some homes were flooded before sandbags could be put up, while others were saved by the efforts. I see on another thread that things may have been over stated. However, we don't know what the future holds, and, in my opinion, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We all prepared for the worst and hoped for the best. That is all any of us can, or could, do. The future is not known, and hindsight is always 20-20.
Again, KUDOS to ALL who tried their very best to help, instead of turning their backs on those who were desperately trying to stop a possible catastrophe. Your efforts will long be remembered, as well as your friendships.
Biiiiiiig hugs and many thanks. :)

Thanks for starting this thread. I have been accused of having no compassion, among other things.
I started the other thread to hear opinions and to have a discussion. I have never denied there are people in trouble, and have friends and family who have been evacuated in Winfield.

I think you guys need to take it back to the other thread. Little to old to be filling sand bags now, but have done it in my time. Warms my heart to see how many people were out there.

If you have a special moment, or a thank you, during the efforts, please, post them here. I know there are probably many, many of us, due to age or to health reasons, could not help. I know myself, when I went to where they were sand bagging, I told the guys they were angels. They just kept doing what they were doing, and it brought tears to my eyes, when they looked up and gave a thank you smile.
So, please, just post encouraging comments, no mean ones. :) Too many times, we overlook the great efforts people do put forth for their neighbours and sometimes, complete strangers, that then become friends.
Thank you, All. :)
