<p>MARITE - I guess I would question the fact that only about a dozen states - and proudly mine is one of them!!! - that have offered to take large numbers of evacuees - thus lessening the burden just a bit on the great state of Texas - who has gone far and beyond what ever could have been expected of any state. I am sure if MA feels that they can accomodate more numbers - they will again step up to the plate - hope others do as well.</p>
<p>I am also VERY proud of the helicopter crews - some of the first on the scene to NO - that came from OTIS as well - long way from home - doing an incredible job!!!</p>
