[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 48051"] Tooner, I would hope that is just a DJ passing on a rumour rather than the truth. I agree, if you left the area and you lose everything you should be just as qualified for any relief than if you ignored the evacuation or couldn't get out. And what is the difference (and why should there be any difference) between an area that was officially evacuated and the thousands of citizens farther inland where there wasn't any official evacuation request, but lost everything? Unless they are only giving this to those at these designated shelters, how would the government even know if you left or not as things are so screwed up they don't know what's going on! This is beginning to look like a knee jerk reaction, unthought out political pr move to try to lessen public outrage rather than an intelligent or compassionate relief effort. And now they've just announced they are pulling the plug on the two day old 2000 grand debit card unless you are one of the evacuees sent to Texas. Evacuees to all other points in the USA will have to fill out forms and await approval and deposit in their savings accounts. What a mess. In light of the mega money bogus claims paid out from last years Florida hurricane relief effort and 9/11 that are just now surfacing this aught to be a field day for wkmac's favorite subject. Not sure what the qualifications are regarding being an evacuee or what happens if you don't have a savings account. Nice, another obviously well thought out strategy. Is anyone running the ship!
