I am watching this as well, and likewise, my love and prayers go out to all the people involved. We do have a considerable amount of shareholders there as well, not meaning that one shareholder is not significant, nor non shareholders. Communication appears to be limited and perhaps it may be a few days before we hear some of our shareholders on here updating us on the extent of the devastation in their area. There will be people that are gonna need considerable help there.
Where this will be considered an "Act of God", many will not be covered by flood insurance and other connected occurances, unless they paid the premiums to have those coverages implimented in their insurance policies, if they can even get them in some areas. These people affected will need outside help and I suggest the crowdfunding may be a possibility to help somewhat. I am only putting this out there now as a suggestion, we have much on our plates financial wise at this moment, and SLI family members do live in that area. There may be ways to help them.

We are in great times of change on our planet, both in natural disaster terms and financial turmoil. People must continue to pull even tighter together and help as many as your fellow man as you can, so we may get through these new and increasing challanges that are being presented to us, together.
