Imagine. American Refugees. I think I've never seen those two words together.
I prefer to call them evacuees. This even applies to those who were able to get a motel for some nights. Sooner or later without money coming in, the money will run out, and we will see many people needing help over the coming weeks, who did not need aid at first, especially if high water keeps insurance companies from helping with settlements. Was flood insurance available at a decent rate in New Orleans?
