An Open Letter to Tropical Storm Bonnie
Posted by miamiredcrossvolunteer on July 28, 2010
Oh, Bonnie. What happened? You came and you went. Honestly we expected you to stick around for a while and do what you do best. Blow some hot air, flood our streets, create some havoc. But, girl, you fizzled out!
Regardless, thank you so much for stopping by. My lawn appreciated the rain. But I have to tell you that I’m glad things didn’t work out the way you wanted. Nevertheless we were ready. I don’t know if you know, Bonnie, but we had hundreds of Red Cross volunteers on standby, our partners were ready to go and shelters were prepared to open if needed.
Even though you didn’t pack much punch, I hope the community took the opportunity to get their disaster kits together and go over their family plans.
So the next time you or one of your friends decides to pay a visit to South Florida, just know that we’ll be waiting.
