I just typed a long reply to Lori on the very subject...I get misty 
eyed when I think about, these folks out here are great and it makes me 
glad I'm here--despite the blizzards and high water!

I do too, as a trained counselor I'm real sensitive to folk's emotional 
well being--the people of the Red River Valley have had to deal with 
unimaginable amounts of stress and traumatic events.  I guess the 
positive note is that there's been little loss of human life, for that 
we are thankful.  The American Red Cross estimates their Mental Health 
professionals will remain in the valley for 6 months to a year to 
provide services to flood victims, it's going to be a slow process on 
that front.
