Hurricane Isabel

Hurricane Isabel hit Eastern North Carolina Sept. 18, 2003. The disaster Headquarters was in Greenville, NC which is only 3hrs. away from High Point. Those from NC. who went to the disaster went by rental cars. (It is Red Cross policy that you can not use a personal vehicles while working disasters). From Greenville I was assigned to a kitchen at a Baptist church in New Bern, NC. I was logistics at the kitchen which meant I was responsible for the care of the part of the church we were using, and the two trailers that we were using for food storage. One of the trailers was refrigerated It was up to us to keep a daily inventory of all the food supplies on hand and meals that we prepared that day. One of the Red Cross partner organizations is the Baptist Men who run mobile kitchens. The group we had on this assignment were from Tennessee. The kitchen closed after two weeks, and I went back to Greenville were I did courier trips, driving all over Northeast North Carolina until the job closed down
