Today we once again served people waiting for assistance from FEMA and other organizations. Some of these folks arrive at 4:00am. It was one of the slower days, but we still served over 500 meals. Of course it heats up pretty quick down here, so we try to arrive at 9:00am so that we can start the day by distributing water and some type of breakfast snacks.
Updating something I wrote about yesterday, I wrote about a couple that was arrested. Well it ends up that they were actually from this area and trying to pass themselves off as evacuees. For various reasons they committed a federal crime and could serve up to 20 years in prison. Their ages were 19 and 21.
Some evacuees will be returning to Lake Charles tomorrow. It appears ready to have people coming back and electricty has been restored to about 50 percent of the city.
I also presented an album with the photos of the wedding I shot earlier this week to the Newlywed Couple. They were very excited and I was glad to add some happiness in a small way.
At dinner tonight all of us were talking about our experiences during the last week and a half. We really became a team quickly and we all fear of a let down after we leave. Although some of our team may come back to serve another two weeks.
Well thanks for visiting my blog and I hope to figure out how to get some pictures on here. Take care.
Ron
