Ike's Indiana Aftermath, three

Oops! I now realize that, perhaps, I should have kept going. Left to unload the water trucks were 2 Milltown volunteer firemen, 4 women and my boss, running a tractor.
On the trip down, the gallons of water had shifted and a good half of the product had to be unloaded by hand. After a short while, the truck drivers felt bad, that the men present were running equipment and the 4 women were unloading gallons of water by hand. They pitched in, Thank Heavens! When we were finished, or nearly so, a volunteer EMA man, finally showed up.
My first question was, where was our help? My second, how were people going to find out water was available to them? He began to leave. I asked again, a bit more forcefully. His answer just about set me off my rocker...we WERE the help and "they" were going to send the message out by short wave radio. What? This will not stand! Okay, I was in his face by then, I will admit it. Is this water for the privileged? Is there any other plan to notify citizens? No? Are you retarded? Or just an asshole? Well, I guess you can see what direction this conversation was going. I left.
As I was driving to my destination, I had many thoughts. Most were not amiable, but one was pretty good. I began driving down streets in Marengo, telling anyone who was outside, where to find free water. Asking them to pass the word to other neighbors. It worked! I then stopped by as many senior homes as I could. A little after dark, my day was over. When I got home, I realized that I was distressed and angry. I had seen a number of seniors who were confused, some who were low on oxygen, a few that were disoriented and many that were still eating food out of their refrigerators! Mind you, this is two and a half days after the power outage began. Tomorrow, I want answers AND valid information!
