(Got this email from Kathryn Runco (mill1099@bellsouth.net) in Pace, Florida yesterday. Kathryn (Carlos' mama) has been taking it upon herself to deliver supplies to the disaster areas.)
Went to Pearlington, Ms today thanks to the donation of the Copper Possum in Milton. No FEMA; No Red Cross; no electricity, no sanitation, no hot food. Small relief center run by national guard. Everything is filthy. Terrible smell for miles. No houses habitable that I saw. Churches destroyed. No stores--all destroyed.They need clean-up and sanitation supplies. I think I may have a church in Navarre willing to go there and set up a feeding station but if not, I will try some other way. Will go back with another load ASAP. THe smell is terrible, there are vultures everywhere and the people are so tired and defeated they can hardly hold their heads up. These are VERY proud people and they have taken an ass-kicking. Pardon my french.

(P.S. Just what might the "Copper Possum" be? An upscale restaurant?)
