Yes. I understand that the bulk hit well south, but then again, I
was
watching news last night, and they were showing damage to fruit
picker's homes in Arcadia, which is inland AND well north of the
most
damaged areas.
St. Pete and Pinellas didn't get anything. Arcadia is NE of
Charlotte Harbor, where the storm came ashore. As the storm was
heading NE, Arcadia got slammed.

That's a shame, there are a lot of poor working people in that area.
There are lots of "illegal" farm workers who were horribly impacted by
the hurricane, and who are without housing, food, or water, and were it
not for Catholic charities and a couple of similar groups, these folks
would be dying by the side of the road.
This is an amazing country. We have all sorts of work that native-born
Americans won't do, so we import tens of thousands of poor workers from
even poorer countries to do it for us. Then we treat those workers like
****.
Welcome to America.
As a society, we're no better than we treat the poorest and least able
among us.

Where are the Atheist Charities?
Sir:
Apart from the gratuitous, irrelevant nature of your attack, it has always
been
my understanding (and please correct me if I am wrong) that your First
Amendment
means not only freedom _of_ religion, but also freedom _from_ religion.
Are you unable to mount any more effective offence against your adversary
than
this feeble one?
Most sincerely,

Idiot! I ask a valid question. Many of these same people are always
knocking religion. Maybe you are one of those people? I ask the valid
question. If Atheism is so good, where is the good being done by them?
Do you really think that of all the volunteers, in all of the
charities, in all of the groups that offer assistance, in all of the
clubs, in all of the world, that none are atheists? Do you really
think that the only groups of people doing this sort of work are
christians??? Jeez, and you have the audacity to call others idiots.
