I understand completely because I have gone through all of this. My nerves are shot. I can't deal with FEMA or the insurance companies or anyone. Luckily, I found a tiny apartment and moved while my husband ripped out everything himself while waiting for the contractor to arrive. All our bills have skyrocketed. We lost two cars and replaced them. Now we are over our heads in bills. Any and everything has been done to keep costs low. No fancy stainless steel appliances. What I don't understand is why FEMA always tells you something different each time you call them. Others have also done the same. The red tape has been horrendous. How many times did I have to fax the same paperwork? I have nickeled and dimed everyone in order to keep everyone including the contractor happy.

Soon I will return to my Meadowmere Park home in the Lawrence, NY area. I am totally disgusted with everything and everyone. It has been a long 5 months and I am not working and that makes things worse for my family.

Once I go back to my flood-damaged home, I won't feel comfortable that another hurricane won't come again. New York, in my opinion is for those who have lots of money. That's why I am planning to get the f----k out of here as soon as I can. Most people don't have $100,000 laying around in case of an emergency like rebuilding homes. Next time we have a hurricane I will leave NY for good!!!!! All the promises made did not help in getting back to our homes again quickly. Some days after the hurricane, we were advised to go online to apply for FEMA. There was no power, yet the bills came daily and nobody could go online or charge their cell phones. There were alot of stupid comments like that all over. Pay attention-----some will stay and others will leave NY. Too many delays, lots of paperwork,dealing with selfish and stupid people, etc. Let's say I have a very bad impression on the handling of hurricane Sandy.
