We are shocked by the continued lack of response by FEMA. We foolishly assumed they'd gotten their act together since Katrina. So many people are still living in their cars or tents. It is absolutely so disheartening to see this happening, once again, in America. Meanwhile, FEMA blames the EPA and local governments for the agency's lack of assistance. FEMA's performance following Ike has, understandably, become lost in the news about the crippled economy and presidential election. So thank again for the mention. By the way, our small local newspaper, 'The Progress,' ran the following headline on the front page last week: 'FEMA abandons Ike victim like stray dog.' I live in the county with the 30-mile debris field. My husband and I have spent thousands of dollars trying to clear our land of the pieces of homes and businesses blown onto our property. You find things that make your heart hurt. But the work continues. Thank you for mentioning a bit of what is (or isn’t) occurring on the Texas coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike.
