“I was lucky and didn’t suffer loss. Some of my friends weren’t so lucky. They’re having a hard time right now, and I intend to help them however I can. I would hope that anyone reading this would consider helping out as well. There are several obvious ways to do this, most notably through the Red Cross. But since I know many of the TBers are animal lovers, I will suggest a few other options. First, The Humane Society has set up a relief fund; consider making a donation there. Second, there were two aquariums affected by the storm, and while I’m not certain as to their current status, they are most certainly still in need of help.”

To everyone in the path of a storm, literal or metaphoric,
may you be safe,
may you be warm,
may you be still at the center.
