The parish that I live in had power outages for no longer than 5 days in some areas for Hurrican Rita. Most people were out for only one day and many did not have any power outage at all.
There are tons of people who are lying to get money to "replace food that was ruined in the freezer" That is horrible. It is taking funds away from people who need it. I was told by someone that I should go apply for food stamps to get what was ruined. I told them that I could not do that because nothing was ruined. We had a generator.
I heard that FEMA will check with the electric companies and these people who lied will have to pay back FEMA. I hope that is true.
