Knowing this, and knowing that the surrounding communities had plenty of water, didn't stop people from buying WAY more than they needed. There's overreacting to an emergency situation, and then there's just plain greediness. I hope your parents make it through okay. It must be awful. <BR/>Here from Michele.Carli N.
