    This is so much like the MS gulf coast when Katrina hit...it will never be what it was! But good people are resilient and strong in the face of this kind of loss!

    I feel for those people over there, what a feeling of hopelessness.

    This is so heartbreaking for all of these survivors.

    I can't speak for all chapters, but the Dallas County Chapter of Project Linus is sending donations of blankets and quilts to the military bases here, for so many thousands of American families were ordered to evacuate, and had to go off and leave everything in Japan.
