Jackson!
Jackson, MS, Sunday 9/25/05 - weather is aftermath of Rita - squally, torrential rain and wind gusts - 85 degrees and very humid.
We are now seconded to the Red Cross Jackson Center, where we will commence ERV duties (see earlier entries). Our convoy will be split and the trucks will eventually go on to Natchez.
As we are identifiable as Red Cross (our vehicles and the Red Cross T shirts and identification we wear) we are constantly approached by displaced victims of these storms who are asking how to get help and support. They are suffering the most incredible hardships, losses and uncertainty as to their future. It is heart breaking not to be able to help them more. All we can do is give support, understanding, some phone numbers, and if possible a hug.
