[stylist] Any news from our east coast friends?

Sat Nov 10 13:19:54 UTC 2012

Lori, I am watching the reporting daily and thinking of you. This is 
devestation beyond anything a person can begin to imagine. I keep thinking 
of the people in the high rise apartment buildings; trapped there with no 
heat on these frigid days and night in the darkness. I see the blown away 
houses, the layers of debris surrounding them. I wake up at night and pray 
for you all. I think of those who have no warm bed to sleep in, and very 
little food, and no sanitary facilities to use. I am so sad about this and 
then to hear last night that looting and burgurlarizing has increased by 7 
percent on top of all the losses already!

This is a snapshot of sorrow and loss.  But, it is also a snapshop for 
caring and helpful people who are there working to bring food and help 
other's in their needs. I saw Anderson Cooper interviewing a blind graduate 
student who was out on the streets with her guide dog. She had made hot food 
and she called upon her friends to help make food, too. Together they were 
all providing hot foods to people who had none. God bless her, and all those 
like her who are doing what they can to bring comfort to others.

Please keep us updated, as you can, Lori.

Lynda
