[Rhodes22-list] Coastal Storm

[Brad Haslett]

One hates to be an A-hole under such circumstances but the FEMA prime
called me for the third time yesterday wanting our proof of insurance
(I spent most of today getting the new limits in place).  "Why are you
calling me unless the usual subs aren't showing?"  A guy on my Bo list
is on the city council of a local community that was hit.  My advice
to him was to call all the local contractors, "you know who the good
guys are and they'll just git er done". Send FEMA the bill".  We've
been there and done that.  Breathing the mold and dealing with the
rats and snakes is not fun.  The media has already lost interest in
Galveston - not enough images to sell soap on the nightly news and not
enough victims.  If these images tug at your heart, send money to the
Red Cross and the Salvation Army.  Those two are first on the scene
and do yeoman's work.
