Wow!
You know what they say about the mail though... only federal holidays can stop them!
I am glad she is okay. The looting is the thing that makes me angry.
I'm with you. Isn't recovering from the storm enough to worry about? It was one house on her street. The phones are down so they can't call the police easily as cell service is on and off. My sister has a big dog so maybe the barking will help keep her safe? I hope.
