I remember August 13th, 2004 like it was yesterday. Luckily I lived in north port at the time but that didn't stop me from helping out my community. I remember I had a choice between going to school and starting a new year or helping out the victims. I choose to help out anyone one i could during this disaster. I saw things and heard peoples stories that would scar me for life. I passed out food and suppiles to those who needed it. From young to old everyone in the community came together. I was working with the Red Cross and i felt so good for what i did. It was really sad to see that this community i live in was destroyed in a heart beat. To this day i still feel for those who lost loved ones and memories. But thank god that even after 5yrs we as a community re built and are working on getting things back together.
