One family in Port Acres and 7 in Bridge City. No major damage to their houses. Windows blown out, trees down, but no trees down on houses.
My aunt's biggest complaints are that there's no help with cutting the trees up to move them to the street (my uncle is back to work at a refinery) and that she's having to wait forever to get into Wal-Mart (only letting 30 people in at a time).
The whole family was up here for almost 3 weeks, most of it in a hotel, which FEMA reimbursed (well the hotel never charged them, they billed FEMA).
And I also agree, there's no coverage of Rita. I swear to god, the day after Rita came on shore, the news only talked about Galveston, Houston, Beaumont, Lake Charles and New Orleans. One time I heard a guy say "Well, there's Beaumont, Port Arthur and then the next city is really Lake Charles," my family was like "huh?" Or the one guy that said "We drove through Nederland, Bridge City, Orange today, lots of damage, but here we are in Lake Charles," but no pics of any of the damage.
I'm sorry, I hope that things start going your way. :hug:
