so yesterday there was a small riot in line for the $2k debit cards. So FEMA has halted the handout of the $2k debit cards and rethinking on how to hand them out in a orderly fashion and also rethinking on how to limit the spending on just FOOD, CLOTHING, and repairing supplies. At this point, they are just VISA check cards, and you are able to purchase anything you want.

Because of that FEMA will only issue the debit cards to people at the shelters and everyone else will recieve a check if they are staying with family or if they at a hotel.

Red Cross is said to be handing out $600-$1200 debit cards/checks depending on dependents.

All Sheraton hotels are offering 14days,14 nights for any victim of any of the diaster areas free room and 3 free meals a day, and any other ammenities they have to offer, one of my cousins best friends is in Keywest and she was telling them to leave my house and head down there right now! so far she has taken a fishing charter, been scuba diving, and out on jet skis....so it's basically like a mini vacation for the people who have been put out. We found out though, it's all being reimbursed from FEMA.....


oh, and I just heard this morning that FEMA was also trying to make people who were wanting the debit cards so badly at the Astrodome to sign a wavier that once they accept this debit card, they are declining any further help from FEMA......they said that more than 3000 people signed.
