9/18/2008 - UPDATE
FEMA has let me into the hotel program until Oct. 14th. Unfortunately, it is out of Houston, which means I have to find a new apartment before I leave. Rain leaked through the bedroom windows, but fortunately, I had put down towels to absorb that. They were sopping wet, and moldy. The apartment complex stated that rain coming through windows is normal. Yepper?
They also laughed about the big mildew spot growing in my closet. Moving will not be fun, especially on the fly.
Please don't drown out this post like you guys did on the last round. It is rude. I am in Houston not Galveston. I am not even sure why you chose to drown out this post.
Many of us here are hurting both mentally and financially. My apartment is still w/o power, w/o a/c, and w/o hot water. So the FEMA hotel program was necessary. My complex is far down the list to be repaired. There are shingles, tree limbs, glass, and bent light posts everywhere. It feels like a scene out of "Lost".
Thanks to those to offered help. I might need it and will let you know or Psy can let you know how to reach me.
Take care and I hope no one else on this board is being left in a jam by this storm.
