Day 3: Riding in the ERV

Sleeping I'm a gym was a surprisingly good experience. Snoring was minimal but there was plenty of alarms bright and early.. We got about 6-8 inches of snow which was the the worst thing that could have happened to many residents in jamaica bay area. We got out delivering as many meals we could as fast as we could. Everyone has been in good spirits considering. People are slowly getting their heat back on but the reality is everyone lost everything. One gentleman had about 12 inches of water in his house and needs everything . The guys I'm riding around in a ERV are not only Red Cross volunteers but EMT and firefighter volunteers. They think it's fun to visit all the fire stations in the area.I've had fun doing this as well and learning. tonight we dropped off the left over food for them and sat and talked with the head honcho. With tears in his eyes he told me about his story with a good spirit. He was just proud of his crew and the support system their neighborhood and how grateful people are to help. The station didn't have damage but was while trying to help out durning the strom their truck caught on fire and is now ruined. (pics to come) I'm having the best time here. thank you everyone for helping me make it out here.
