It was my last year of college, and I was working at a hardware store. My boss kept the store open, but his son, who was a volunteer firefighter, and I went out into the country on welfare checks. We found an old guy whose door had blown in. It was just a shack, maybe 3 rooms. His kitchen was full of snow. He was camped out in his living room. We gave him some food, shoveled out his kitchen as best we could and made sure his stove was working. A friend was doing calls on his snowmobile and rode up on a drift or something. He got clotheslined by a phone or power line.
A lot of bad stuff happened, but the community really came together.
