Dave,
I’m not making this up.
I lost my roof in Wilma. Water poured through the entire upstairs and through first floor walls and ceilings on that side of the house. I was told that FEMA might be able to help with a tarp.
On Wednesday the 19th, I called the main FEMA number to see if I could get help with a tarp. A male answered the phone fairly promptly. I told him that I had lost my roof to Hurricane Wilma.
FEMA: Where are you?
Me: North Miami Beach.
FEMA: What state?
Me:(stunned): …Florida. …
FEMA: (after putting me on hold) We don’t have an order for that yet there.
