Oh, goodness. I am glad you have a car and gas to get out if you need to. Those poor people who are stuck.
The government does not do the emergency aid on the gulf coast well. People who are not in the mess, do it. Get some buddies organized and take some canned food, water and dry clothing to the bad areas if you can. Every little bit helps. That is what we do here.
We don’t wait for the government! Chruches, businesses and individuals get busy. They save lives.

When Isabel came blasting through, FEMA came in with truckloads of ice...AFTER most people had power back. So it sat there and melted. Made for great news clips.
The cities and Commonwealth did a far better job. I remember seeing folks from obscure state agencies I’d never heard of chopping up trees to clear the roads. They done good. FEMA might as well have stayed home.
Ultimately your neighbors and friends and family are the ones who save your bacon in a disaster.
