You don't have to be so smart/sarcastic,,,perfectly clear english,,,,,people are dying-people want to help. What they need is gas, I was just trying to figure out how to get it there, knowing it was probably impossible the whole time,,,check my previous statement about it,,,
as far as help is on the way, the people in Mississip were told by local gas officials that in things would be better next tuesday,,,some of them do not have that long,,,heat index is 102,,,,without water some of them will die. Forgive me for trying think of a way to help. I know you are probably an expert in the subject, but please bear in mind i don't share your expertise,,,I could care less about the legality of it, the price of the gas or the fact that the southeast has a gas shortage. As you are aware that very shortage is what has started this conversation. I just want to help with gas,,,a guy from pensacola FL sent gas to biloxi today in 55 gallon drums to help,,,,so it can't be that far fetched that people desperately want to get gas to those people and are doing whatever it takes.
FEMA *is* in MS and AL, the media just isn't covering it. They're certainly in Biloxi.
There is also plenty of gas in the ground iin tanks n parts of MS - but they have to get power going to run gas station pumps. FEMA is bringing in generators to help with that and ALL the utility companies have sent people. It will take time. People will die. Gas alone will not save people. They need fuel, power, and most importantly, water. Water is being trucked in to all three heavily hit states, some by FEMA, some by private donors.
It sucks. it really does. But that's how reality is.
Now, FEMA has an 800 number, listed at the top of the thread. Why don't you call them and ask? They will probably be able to tell you where the closest aid distribution station is to your friends and family down there.
Forgive me for trying think of a way to help.
Not real big on that "practice what you preach" thing, are we?
