- Here is the place where I watched the forecast for Katrina unfold right
dead on for the worst part of the hurricane to hit head on where my ex
wife'shouse is. It also induced my ex father and step mother in law, ex
sister in law, ex mother in law, and ex uncle in law. They were scattered
from Ocean Springs (Biloxi) (2.5 miles from the beach at an elevation of 13
feet) on the west to Gautier in the middle (0.4 mi from beach and 7 feet
elevation) and Grand Bay AL on the east.(2.5 mi from the beach and elevation
77 feet. I do hope the insurance companies and FEMA get their act together
intime to help these folks better than they did the Katrina folks. My ex is
without anything. She does get to go back to work. That is a blessing since
she can keep her mind off the disaster somewhat. But she had 5 feet of water
come up in her house, and more coming in from the roof. After several shady
deals, she finally got every bit of the stuff in her house out on the lawn
right on down to the rafters, beams and studs. She is balancing a job, and
trying to find a FEMA and insurance adjuster to even come out to inspect the
house, ore even straighten out the conflicting things she has been told.
Keepa carpet swatch to prove you had carpet. Keep the entire carpet so we
know how much of the house had each kind of carpet. Lock up and secure the
stuff you get out of the house so it will be there for the adjuster. Of
course at odds with this are the raiders who want the stuff, and the clean
upcrews that want the bacteria laden stuff out of there. So what do you do
with it? Most of it is just out on the front lawn. Power still isn't back,
nor is communications. Other than lights and air, it hits the
infrastructure.If you don't have cash, you cannot buy anything. Want gas?
Plenty in the storage tanks, but no electricity to pump it out. Got
electricity to pump it out, no phone line to check your debit or credit
card,so they only accept cash. Which they have to use to pay the employees.
And since there a no phone lines, forget about the ATM for getting cash. So
if you were not flush with cash when Katrina hit, you are in trouble. Of
course you need to keep an eye out on some things too, like the guys who go
to FEM. to get free tarps to be put on roofs so you don't get any more
damagefrom the rain. These guys roam the neighborhood and offer to put the
tarps up for $500 each. Enough of that. Yes, I really did have enough of
thatwhen I went down there to help the ex. She is at least working even
though she has to stay at her boss's house during the week and at her
mother's on the weekend to wash clothes. The only clothes she has. Before we
came down with stuff my family collected, she had one pair of tennis shoes,
and three changes of clothes (jeans). Nothing at all for work. But now she
has enough to keep her going for a week before she has to wash, but I know
she still bought stuff she just won't take from someone else, like
underwear,etc. She is actually pretty well off compared to others, so that
says a lot about how bad the others are. I pray that the texas folks don't
have to put up with the same. Mike Griffin wrote: - Take a look at the
