Just heard from my wife's family in Nederland, TX - another FEMA

[Rosco T.]

clusterfuck in process!

(see this map for location of Nederland to Beaumont, Port Arthur)



The damage is worse than you're hearing on the news. Water/Power/Sanitaion off in the majority of the area. NO FEMA/Federal Aid presence for the most of the people and the people are PISSED OFF BIG TIME. One SUper Wal-Mart had it's roof taken off, say what you will about Wal-Mart, but they are there now handing out food from the damaged store. The big need people are needing it water and ice.. and most of it appears to be in freaking HOUSTON/GALVESTON. FEMA nowhere to be found. Local govt doing what it can, but these are small towns and don't have the facilities....

Each and every one of them that we've heard from (and all the others) are saying the same thing "This ain't an election year so they don't care... but we sure as HELL will remember them NEXT YEAR, AND THE NEXT, AND THE NEXT."
