HELPING AFTER THE STORM
The massive Category 5 storm lingered over the islands this week, serving up hours upon hours of severe weather and destruction. Homes and neighborhoods are saturated or destroyed. While the full extent of the wreckage has not yet been determined, already groups are organizing fundraisers and supply drives for those survivors who need it most.
