Baton Rouge Flood Story

This is my second flood relief effort for the year. Being a resident of Louisiana I have lived one flood and helped in the second. But the devastation was to much to comprehend. Personally I would have given up and gone elsewhere but these folks got to it and cleaned out the flood soaked homes. Such a heart braking event. Here are a few pictures that show the devastation.

Each Picture is a different street.

My role was part of a flood relief team. I went down to help rebuild a church and parsonage. Also we distributed water, cleaning supplies, food, clothes and other necessities. I don't think I can tell the stories of heart brake. The ones we helped were so grateful that I couldn't help but want to do more. If you can find a way to help do so or contact me and I will guide you to a few relief teams.
