There are no stories because there is no clean-up. Honestly. If there were any clean-up going on you would have seen some in Jeffrey's shots. I drove through Mid-City for miles and miles and saw one man cleaning up around his home. The problem is there's no place for any clean-up workers or homeowners to live. That man probably drove into town for the day from where he was staying 100 miles away. Clean up some and go back for the night. And even if you clean up your place the other homeowners around you probably have no way of getting back in to clean up. They may be staying in Memphis, or Atlanta. You would clean up your own place and still everything around you would look like hell. There's no place to stay, and there's no electricity; Entergy has been forced to stay in bankruptcy and has no money to repair the power grid. Lee England Natchez, Mississippi
