FEMA finally came through with aid for my mother in law. Her house, which is in Pass Christian, was completely flooded by Katrina.
She got $5,200.
She is actually one of the luckier people on the coast.
Many people are still living in tents. Her son lives in Mobile and she has been living there with him and his wife. He does contracting work and has been in the process of gutting her house. It is slow going since he is working alone.
