Yeah, the rural areas of MS certainly have to be more self-sustaining because, as your friends found, it can be difficult to get to some of the places.

My sister and her husband had water come through the house at the Fish Camp, but it didn't stay. The carpet is wet, and until last night, they had no power, but she had food in the freezer, and a gas grill, so she's been cooking for the other folks at the Fish Camp. Some folks were down for a week, and didn't realize the storm was gonna hit their area as bad as it did. So they've been gathering for meals at my sister's house. When she went through the line for ice and water the other day, the soldiers offered her MREs. She said she didn't need them because she had plenty of food.

The power crews have been amazing getting juice back flowing after such destruction!

The treadmills were almost full this morning (back to school you know), so I couldn't get to the one to be able to view Fox News. I had to switch between ABCCBSNBC. Within about 5 minutes I wanted to scream.

Admittedly the federal response was slow initially. I put that at the feed of the Mayor and Governor. But the President stepped in and took charge. I swear, the RATS and the MSM wouldn't be happy if he was down there with a mop and bucket.
