"Riders On The Storm"

[babylonsister]

'Kids' (my age) of a friend of mine live in an unincorporated area in Houston. On September 13, during Hurricane Ike, a humongous tree fell on their trailer, almost killing one son. It cut their home in half.
They are still living there because they have no help, from anyone. The trailer is cut in half, they had water but that was cut off tonight.

What do people do? Their 'home' isn't gone but it is. I'm glad I saw this on the local news tonight. I can't even imagine.

2. Sounds awful. Nromally I'd say FEMA should be doing something

but we know how much of a screw-up they are under Bush ...
