Yes he did, glad that both of them is taking this seriously. Romney if asked for people to donate to Red Cross etc. Politics have nothing to do with what is going on, this is about taking care of those in harms way.

Romney is mobilizing his campaign to collect donations for those affected by the storm. He also recommended that people take down their lawn signs before they leave to avoid having them become projectiles.
I know, it's still all politics, but both of them appear to be playing the game the way they're supposed to.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
