I too am frustrated with the mass media in just about everyway stated above.
The best way I think to really understand what these people are going through my mother and little brother and sister included is to live through something like this yourself. Now I know that hurricanes in the past do not compare but in alot of ways smaller hurricanes give the same effect. In my many years living in Mississippi I know what it is like to live without power, clean water and sometimes food. It is very hard to imagine what it is like until you live through it yourself. I have seen familes mine included get frustrated over when relief efforts are comming to them, waiting to get your next meal, finding clean water to drink, or even finding water to flush the toliet, peoples lives have been torn to pieces and in my opinon have every reason in the world to be upset. And in also living through many hurricanes I have seen the light at the end of the dark cold tunnel, of people rebuilding their lives and getting back to normal, it takes months of effort, money and alot of help from others.
