USA Northeast floods, thousands evacuated

The northeast U.S., Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New York, are all dealing with some major flooding. Thousands evacuated and/or displaced, the death toll sure to rise...

This from the Carroll County Times, Westminster, Maryland

"Searchers found the body of Michael White, 14, in the Little Pipe Creek this morning.

White and Thomas Plunkard, 16, went missing Tuesday evening after the pair apparently went to look at the rising flood waters of the creek. Firefighters and police mounted a search Tuesday evening and again Wednesday, before finding White’s body.

Searchers are still looking for Plunkard’s body, and the search has expanded to include the Monocacy River."

The above mentioned boys are likely just one of many tragic stories of the past few days.....

With the hurricanes, flooding, earthquakes, war, famine, and all the other items covered here, I thought it prudent to inform the world community here that the northeast United States is indeed suffering. The world is slow to respond to this one.

Where is the national/nternational relief effort for this tragedy???
