Don't get me wrong. All of the locals were there. They had no other choice. But many of them were paralyzed with grief, and just not yet able to turn their minds to some of the important tasks at hand. This happened late in the afternoon and we were there at sunrise the next morning handing out food and supplies, and aggressively looking for things to do. We has spent the evening beforehand gathering donations of various kinds, and then left DeKalb at 4:30am. For most of that first day, it seemed like all of the outsiders on the scene were just there to drive by and gawk.
