PRX Humbled

Hi friend of PRX,

Storm waters are simply unforgivable. Under that massive cloud cover captured by satellite, lives have been lost, homes ruined, businesses swamped and emergency workers stretched to exhaustion.

Millions of stories will come out of this storm. Maybe some will make it to PRX. Maybe to The Moth. Or StoryCorps.

For now, good luck. Here’s to those literally trying to keep their lives above water, and to those offering a hand…

-John
