Before dying, the man apparently was trying to crawl out of an air-conditioning vent to escape rising floodwaters...
Meh, he just would have turned out to be a looter, anyway. Still, it would have been nice if someone could have anticipated this level of disaster. Oh, wait.

P.S. My budget for seasonal promotions at the library is absolutely zilch. I might have enough in my branch's trust to start paying for a bit of remaindered Regnery kindling on layaway. My wall clock jams up at the 40 second mark unless I keep it on its back. You get the picture.
So by all means: give if you can!
