[Namron] Help for tornado damage

[KATHRYN GORDON]

For those of you that had damage due to
the tornado's here are some tips from when I lost my home in Little Axe to the 2010
tornado. 
	1. Watch out for looters that was the biggest problem I had.  Make sure the stuff you are trying to save is in a secure locked location.  They even stole the cars I had left at the home while I was staying at my parents home. 
	2. Whether you have insurance or not, completely destroyed or just damaged go to the FEMA web page and start a claim immediately, they are the ones that helped me the most.  They have to come  out and talk to you usually so the sooner the better. 
	3. Go to the following web site for information on what to do: Red Cross, Salvation Army, Goodwill. 
	4. Take all the help you can local churches, people just wanting to help. You have enough to think about just trying to get back some semblance normal. 
	5. I spent several months trying to clean up the property, holding my cat and crying before I was able to move on with my life.  I still own the property I haven't rebuild yet but someday plan to, I really like living in town now.  The memories are still there and sometimes during storms it almost gets the best of me, but it does get better.  I hope this may help someone out there sometimes you just need to know where to start.
