I lived in south MS and lived through Katrina and the aftermath. The entities that helped the most were my insurance company and the Red Cross. FEMA is more of a problem than a solution - then, following Sandy, and now. If you have the right insurance (and a low-enough deductible or the proper riders) they can help offset lost food and lodging issues. The Red Cross gave cash to help offset the cost of having a boarder in my house for 4 months following the storm. As soon as the government gets involved, things get worse, not better.

I dont think the tax payers will ever take a hosing like we did during Katrina. The dumbass that ordered all of the campers in which the majority of them were never used just to be sold at wholesale prices. That cost us tons of money. Idiots like that need to be working at McDonald's.

Reminds me of all the false claims from Katrina that Uncle Sam is still trying to recover. But for honest folk trying to get help; good luck!

I'm very disappointed that citizens are not eligible for FEMA assistance. This snow storm caused many Arkansans to spend extra money that a lot of us didn't have. Many of us were forced out of our freezing homes for days due to the major power outage. We had unexpected expenses for hotel rooms, extra fuel to travel to an area with power and/or for generators, replacing all of our food that spoiled in the refrigerator, just to name a few. WE should be able to recover at least some of these expenses, not just businesses like Entergy that left us without power for days. Tonya B. Little Rock, AR
