Answer 2

I guess in all the hulla-ballou about Hurricaine Katrina, you missed the coverage on Hurricaine Rita, which hit the Southeast Coast of Texas and the Southwest coast of Louisianna. Not suprising. We actually followed the rules and evacuated when asked, and therefore didn't have as much loss of life, although the property loss was much greater. Again, though, the Federal Government didn't have to spend as much money, because people here, buy insurance coverage, whether they own or rent homes. Basically, we were well prepared, hadn't built our cities ain bowls below sea level and failed to maintain levees and pumps, had less loss of life, and more private insurance coverage. This led to the National media virtually ignoring the horrendous damage done by this storm.

People are still crying for contractors who will come in and work on their homes and businesses. Try Cameron Parrish in Louisianna. Lake Charles, Sulphur, Cameron, Holly Beach, and Johnsons Bayou communities were hit hard. Cameron, Holly Beach and Johnsons Bayou have practically been wiped off the map. I haven't seen it for myself, yet, but I understand Vermillion Parrish was pretty much wiped out, too. In Texas, there's plenty of work in Bolivar, Jefferson, Hardin, Orange, Newton, and Jasper Counties. Sabine Pass was hit especially hard. Many people still have boats and barges in their yards. Blue roofs are everywhere in these Counties and Parrishes.

People are desperate. Those who have already accepted Insurance assignment on damages and are waiting in line for contractors to complete repairs, are terrified that another storm will come in. When that happens, their insurance will not cover damages related to areas that have not been repaired. When that means the side of your home or your roof, you are looking at loosing everything, all over again.

Apartments are impossible to find, though. Price gouging on stay-by-the-week motels and rental property of any type is rampant. Bring along a travel trailer to live out of. As for other members of your family, there are jobs everywhere, in Jefferson County, Texas. Most of the workforce lived in apartments which were totaled by the storm. Without a place to stay, most relocated and their jobs are unfilled. Many resturants, stores, and even a huge mall remain partially closed or working reduced hours due to lack of staff.

This area has the employment opportunities of a lifetime. Also, skilled craftsmen can find employment in the maintenance area of petrochemical refinery work when the storm jobs play out. This is a great area in which to live and raise a family. We have good schools, excellent public works departments, access to beaches, lakes and rivers, and really good entertainment venues.
