Sanford Strong
14I’m not sure if you’ve read about the catastrophic flooding in my hometown of Sanford, but it’s even worse than the news has reported. We’re quite literally a one blinking light small town that’s been completely wiped out.
The one thing I’ve taken from this tragedy is how I’ll approach anyone ever going though a catastrophic event. I’ll never ask if there’s anything I can do - I’ll just do it. Whether it be a gas card, gift certificate, a bag of groceries, wash their laundry or their car, or all of the above. Those are the things that we need, that nobody will ever ask for.
We are Sanford Strong, and we’ll recover from this, but I just wanted to share my little bit on insight with my other community.

Pay it forward!!
You rock!!
Gosh that looks like a huge mess! What are you left with? I am so sorry for you, your family and your town. It must be so overwhelming.

We’re actually doing OK. Lots of love going around. Someone set up a Facebook page for lost and found and it’s just surreal. One day it’s a dock in someone’s back yard, the next is a boat in someone’s front yard. Bizarre!
@punkynpye That is good to hear. Of course then the problem is going to be getting the dock or boat out of that yard and back to the owner if roads are washed out or still covered all sorts of flotsam and jetsam.
