The British man cried not for his loss but for the extreme kindness and care of the men who came to his house. They lost EVERYTHING, but they were concerned about another person's property.

The lady in the red dress tells the truth. Thank God for Life. Having been through a few hurricanes in the Caribbean, once in a sailboat, my heart breaks for the people who are living in the long aftermath of Beryl. Seeing wealthy people who lost some of their second homes (aka snowbirds) leave their comfortable northern homes to help the people who lost so much more is heartwarming. The worst of Mother Nature brings out the best in Human Nature.
