Couldn't help it. Had to say it.

Anybody want to by a trailer?

Man I'd take a FEMA trailer in a heartbeat.

Slap me an Ozone generator in that sucker for about a week and it should be good to go.

if you sleep under it it might be safer shelter

I've always wondered why God hates trailers?

Isn't that why they're called tornado magnets?

I'll take a FEMA trailer as well as a truckload of that FEMA ice that's probably still trucking around the country... That ice still keeps popping up years later due to poor record keeping... Heck, I could have me a redneck hooch trailer hidden under a pile of ice, I tell you what...

Anyway...

I used to be in the fire fighting buisness--I found a D-7 in the bush once--it had been parked for 3 years and the gov't was still paying the rent. How do you lose a bulldozer?
I'd take one of those trailers too--it's not a hard fix.

Sign me up, I got just the place to park one - leave the windows open for a couple of weeks and I bet it would be just fine.

I had forgotten that the US trailer is an Aussie caravan!

I encouraged my parents not to take one after Katrina. Glad they took my advice. Those trailers were slapped together so fast the glue was drying as they went down the interstate!

What an interesting read Coops, especially if one reads some of the links in the article. I had no idea how much of a debacle the whole New Orleans effup was.

I am constantly amazed that people who live in a hole below sea level, right next to the ocean and right next to the largest river on the continent, can complain about the damage caused by a hurricane and the subsequent flooding of the hole they live in, and then blame the rest of the country for taking 3 days to come to their aid; when they lacked minimal preparation for what is an absolutely certain event. It wasn't if they would be hit and flooded, but when. The scenario will repeat itself, again it is not if but when. It is very elementary logic. As long as they live there, they will be hit by hurricanes and flooded. Kind of like living next to an active volcano and getting upset when it erupts.

That is not to be construed as a political statement, but a philosophical one.
