I will comment on one thing here, might not be the right thread, but here it goes.

I finally heard from a friend in MS, they live about 1.5 hrs north of NO. They basically just got power and phone back (they were lucky) They didn't have much damage. BUT they basiclly didn't get any help from anyone.. the National Guard was there for one day, and gave them a small bow of food, which contained a small bag of dried beams, and small box of dried pasta, and some rice. Not much for a family of 4. No water, or any other aid was given.

They are one of the lucky ones, they had minimal damage to thier house, and just lost trees. Other family members lost everything to the floods in NO and the suburbs.

Hopefully the aid will start getting to the outling areas, where it is needed.
