Let me clue you folks in on what happened last year after Charley with FEMA.

Everyone made the phone call, everyone filled out the paperwork, everyone dotted the "I's" and crossed the "T's". I don't know one person who got a dime from FEMA in this area.

However, in Miami-Dade county which hardly had any damage, FEMA paid $21,000,000 to 9000 individuals for storm damage. They didn't have any storm damage.

FEMA has been a waste of time, effort, and money for a long time. The only reason why people are noticing it this year is because Katrina is a national emergency.

My area couldn't fallen off the map after Charley and no would've been affected and, other than our families, no one would've noticed.

Why on earth did it happen that way?

Any media work on this story?

Any media work on this story?

Yes, there is and Mark Foley has been working very hard to get answers for his constituents. The problem has been FEMA which refuses to give out information. There's been lots of stories locally.

But, again, we have no national importance here. What happens here really doesn't effect the country so we are not a priority.

A lot of people were frustarated with FEMA in Hallam, NE. A tornado wiped out the town. Overall I think FEMA did a good job there, but for some people they didn't follow through on promises. Either way, it's got to be frustarating.
