Many don't like to complain or think about, so talk to me by PM . I on the other hand want people to know so that things can change. FEMA, for one. They did not help as much as one would think they are supposed to. Did you know that they hired outside of Joplin for clean up crews. We, who lost homes and jobs that needed a good income ASAP due to the storm was not allowed the $25 an hour jobs. We were told they could only hire us for $7.25 an hour. Without income, most victoms had to stay in tent city. Many of us with out children were put on buses bound to who knows where. And did I mention that they didn't even give us that they sent away any place to stay when we got to the city that they sent us to?

that are going through disasters and there are always things going on disaster-wize. I was just confused by the OP as it was cryptic.

Thanks for sharing and where did you get sent to?

We were lucky. Many got sent to Tulsa OK. The poeple of that city are having enough problems with economics as it is, I can't see sending a bunch of homeless people to them is any help.

I'm up in the Pacific NorthWet, waiting for a big earthquake to hit us. Makes me nervous walking on beaches with high bluffs now, after seeing tsunami shots.

Good luck to you and best wishes.
