Sorry if I sound dumb, but is this something that has to do with Hurricane Katrina? It sounded like you were talking about a natural disaster or something...
Anyhow, I have never been in that kind of situation so I don't have any words of wisdom, but I do hope that things work out for you and that you feel better soon. Take care!!
