"It could be a school, it could be an auditorium -- something like that for people that are affected by the flood or the hurricane," said Kirkpatrick.Kirkpatrick has volunteered during storms like this before. He says they'll help however they can. "We're there at the worst part of someone's life -- when they're affected by something, damage to their home or damage to their car, whatever place they live.
