sorry about your electricity prob pec. are you staying put too or going someplace else for pwr and a/c?

you can try to register w/ FEMA online, at least for temporary lodgings. they have a lot of participating motels, hotels, inns, etc...where once you register and your app accepted (you'll know as soon as you finish the online registration) you'll get a couple of ID nums which you'll just show to the participating lodging locations until you get all your amenities restored to your place of residence.

FEMA.org in case you're wondering. lodging is until October 14th.

I want to tell all the 86crews in H-town I wish them the best of luck. This Ike thing has become a pain for everyone even though it could have been a lot worse. Everyone in my family except my father's house got power etc. Looks like it won't be till another week

"More than half the oysters sold in the eastern U.S. come from Louisiana and Texas. But Ike killed oyster reefs with waves of shocking saltwater, and officials say Ike's march through Galveston Bay will be catastrophic to an industry that generates more than $100 million annually.

"This storm, nobody realizes, has totally wiped out the industry," Halili said. "You can't buy an oyster reef. It takes hundreds of years to get them back."

Representatives of Louisiana's $2.6 billion seafood industry are asking the state's congressional delegation for federal relief. Early estimates indicate the industry sustained up to $300 million in economic losses to Hurricanes Gustav and Ike."
