just talked to DeAnn

I had just finished posting that last post when DeAnn called me from Mississipi. No one has come out about the holes in her roof yet but her husband and a friend got up there and patched them so they have been able to keep the rain out so far. She just spent about $300 on groceries at WalMart because they had nothing. The Red Cross gave them about $600 but FEMA hasn't been in touch with them yet. She has a friend whose house got no damage whatsoever and they gave her $8000. That just isn't right!! The insurance company hasn't been able to get by their house yet to start a claim so even if she could find some roofers, they wouldn't be able to do anything yet. She said Kesler Air Force Base was in bad shape. They have no hospital, no commissary, no BX. And now, they are talking about moving her husband to San Antonio. So her life is pretty much up in the air right now. They would have to find a new house and she would have to find a new job (she loves the one she has right now). I don't know what they would do about the house she has now because they have a mortgage on it and it has damage. But I think they are taking it all pretty well considering everything. Oh Gina, the Tato-Nut survived and is up and running. They actually had to shut early the other because they ran out of food. There are no restaraunts or anything and tough finding groceries. Gosh, I feel so blessed.
