We live in Florida. We came through the hurricane just fine; it was more than a hundred miles to the west of us. We didn't even lose power for more than a few seconds at a time, and only a few times. It's almost surreal, because so many people have been harmed so badly.
Parts of Florida have been devastated, parts even in our own region. Even people several blocks away saw some flooding because they were closer to the river. We know someone whose house had five feet of floodwaters, someone whose garage flooded—which doesn't sound so bad until you realized that they were storing things like photo albums there. People died.
If you want to help, World Central Kitchen is already setting up to feed people whose homes were damaged or destroyed.
We also give to Catholic Charities; this is a link to CCUSA, which has helped with many previous hurricanes in the US.
