The first sign of trouble - a house almost in the road. (Taken through my rainy windshield -- it was 45 degrees and raining all day -- a good day for blankets!)

A sampling of the destruction.

This was a strip shopping center.

The trailer is upside down.

This was Cameron Elementary School.

Behind the Red Cross van is a large MCI trailer offering free phone calls and internet access.

Chief Master Sergeant John M. Harris -- our hero!

Many people enjoyed sorting through the blankets and choosing the one that was just right for them.

I'm sorry that I didn't have any good close-ups of the folks receiving the blankets. I was so busy helping to hand out the blankets and answer questions, that I didn't think about photos!
