Yeah, it says there are still nearly 37,000 people in shelters and no idea when they may be able to return home. Then maybe not even have one. They are having to stand in line for food, water, etc. And many places are running out of supplies.

Yes I saw that. They are probably starting to panic. Let's not forget to rember those who lost their lives...I think maybe 30 or 40. people.

Last I heard it was 28 deaths...may have risen since then. Definitely reminding us of Katrina.

and even if they are able to return back home they probably won't have any power or clean water so its still gonna be bad for them for a while

I'v been listening for drop off places where we can locally take water, cleaning supplies, etc to be shipped to help these people. So far I'v heard nothing. Times are tough and getting tougher.

surviving the storm was hard enough but surviving the aftermath is going to be much harder.

Yes, I can't imagine the cleanup process, of the homes and the cities. What may be left.
