While success is not likely to come until victims or their families are able to gain Internet access, postings for available homes, apartments and duplexes are soaring and, as of Friday night, some 77,000 locations throughout the country were listed for victims to choose from."

With the vast number of entries from those eager to help out, offers from Wisconsin try to soften the blow of potentially cold Wisconsin winters by saying,  "It is cold in Wisconsin in the winter," they said, "but the house is warm and cozy." A Green Bay family offering a home for use was more obtuse. "Our winters are actually warmer than you think," they said in their offer.
