This situation is so sad it is just distressing. I wonder if the rest of the world will now pitch in to help as we helped after the tidal wave in S. Asia. I bet you they won't. One thing I am thinking after watching how hard it is rescueing people off the top of rooftops, is all communities that have any flooding danger should start a program to equip the emergency personel with Jet Ski and Tow Rafts like our lifeguards here in Hawaii all use. With proper training these guy's are able to get to people in danger in water situations under any conditions you could imagine, and do so in rapid fashion.
