Yes seeker i lost everything. I had 10 feet of water in my house for three weeks. The majority of my family and friends have gotten their houses demolished and moved away. And most are in other states, becuase they became so frustrated with the whole situation here and gave up and went elsewhere. And no to your other question. I was turned down for any government help. I am rebuilding my home as i earn my wages at work. I've given up to on my local, state, and federal goverment but i dont have the choice of moving away like others have at this time. I honestly hope that another storm comes and wipes us out again, cause next time there wont be anything left here in St. Bernard parish and thats me included.
