We served about 180 meals today. We were sent to Dallas, GA water had receded but a lot of homes are being gutted. Tired going to bed.

Well day 2 when a lot smoother and Capt. Priest Andy and I served about 300 meals, 150 snacks and 420 drinks. Sure am tired but it's a good tired. I'm little worried; they are calling for rain overnight, somewhere around 5 ins. That could make things a mess again. I would feel pretty bad for these people if they had there homes flooded again. We went back to Dallas. GA then heard a Town called Powder Springs that was in bad shape and stopped at town hall and the Mayor lead us to a rec. center and the people came to us. Tomorrow the mayor is setting us up at their local church.
