People have been really good about checking on neighbors and moving the elderly and those without any backup heat/power to homes of friends and relatives or shelters. Schools are closed all week to accommodate displaced people until the power comes back on for the rest of the area (hopefully by the end of the week!). And you're right, Janice! That old bullheaded New England mentality may hamper those who really need help from asking. (I can say that because I was born and raised here.) If only everyone could read Karen's post! Thanks again, ladies, for your support. All we ask for are your prayers and well-wishes. :) Karen & Janice:

Is any one able to go around a check to see if those who may not be able to ask or get around or phone are okay? It did not make the news, but that's what we were doing on the ground just after the storm. Climbing over huge trees in the street, and around them. Checking neighbors. Seeing what was what... well until the levees broke. Some of those people in the ice storm may have no phones, or way to get that help. And I hear New Englanders are a stubborn sort. :-) May not feel it's right to ask. I am with Karen, let us know if there is anything we non New Englanders could possibly do. ;-) Rebecca.

When something like that impacts an entire community or region we are often beautifully reminded that people do still care. Please let us know what those of us outside the region can do to help.
