Interesting read. Just curious, is the estimated 77,000 homes outside of the Federal floodplain included in Blanco's statement Blanco said she only really controls $6.2 billion in recovery money that will be stretched far too thin to aid owners of 200,000 destroyed or damaged homes.

I think that is what the 77,000 number is in reference to. I just know that we got hit by two major storms 3 weeks apart and that there are a lot of people whose homes were destroyed beyond repair. Most people did have insurance but the insurance companies are slow to respond and when they do it is often less than what it costs to repair them.

People are getting screwed over left and right. 99% of the people are out there working hard at getting their lives back on track but they are having to fight for every scrap they get.
