Replies to '09/08 Hurricane Katrina'

I am from a small little town called Spurger, Texas, it is located on Hwy 92 about 40 minutes from Beaumont.  Our little town was hit horribly by Rita but people just don't seem to care about us.  There are trees and power lines everywhere.  My house and many around me were destroyed either by trees or wind from a tornado.  I am currently in San Marcos, Tx.  Trying to get help from Red Cross and FEMA is so hard.  Everywhere you go and everything you see on T.V. is still focused on Katrina.  What you do hear about Rita is about the big towns, because no one cares about small towns.  Everyone I know is  so upset because it's hard trying to get help because everyone is focused on Katrina.  people can't go to work because they can't buy gas.  Stores that have generators are charging more than $3 a gallon of gas, since they are having to run off generators.  One store in Spurger (we only have 2 and a caution light that's how small the town is) is charging $3 for a loaf of bread and $7 for a gallon of milk.  People aren't  able to go to work so how are they going to afford this stuff.  We need HELP. We are not some big town like New Orleans but HELLO we NEED help from people around here also.
