During the 2016 floods in the Baton Rouge area, I was part of this effort. Flooding disasters are fog of war. Victims are psychologically paralyzed with disbelief and loss, and there are others who prey on them. It's part of our Southern culture to help one another and get things done. If the CN helps protect the vulnerable while evacuating and saving lives, so be it. You can't sit around and wait for help that never arrives.
