i know many people that were effected by this hurricane. My friend\'s father is a fire fighter in Richfield MN and he wanted to help so he went down to New Orleans to help the people out. I know that me and al my friends were very proud of him for leaving his family to help people he doesnt know. To me that is considered a Hero.
