Work sent me to work in Mobile after Katrina. I worked in Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi. I will never forget the devastation and chaos I encountered. Eight lane highways as four way stops, a whole field of very large trees laying over with root balls almost the size of houses, homes just gone nothing left but the foundation.
People cried when I arrived at there homes to restore their service, and I am just a TV, internet, and phone tech. I never felt my job really mattered until then. They all said the same thing, that I was restoring some normalcy to their lives and treated me like family. I don't think there was a single home I went to that didn't offer me something to eat and drink.
There's a great power in words, if you don't hitch too many of them together.
