> I am a librarian who lives in Bound Brook.
> Our little town of 9,000 was hit really hard by Hurricane Floyd. I was
> lucky and live far enough away from any stream or river.
> Our downtown and several blocks away from the river are devastated.
> Unfortunately, people do not have
> flood insurance because their streets have never been flooded before.
>
> I have been working in the shelter in the high school for the last two
> days.  Today I drove into the impacted areas to deliver food.  It would
> make you cry.  Piles of household furnishings in the streets.  People
> pumping out houses and emptying out buckets of mud.
>
> If any of you can help and get your schools, places of work or churches
to
> contribute it would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!! I don't know if our town
will
> ever recover.
