just been devastated by this and there seems to be no end in sight. we re not really getting any real answers from fema. it s very unpredictable when we call. seems like the right hand doesn t know what the left hand is doing and these are our homes, these are our lives. i was shocked that someone i know and who came on the program over the weekend said that he had to move seven times since he was displaced from his home. where are you living? what is your day-to-day life like? well, we are very lucky that we re living with between two daughters right now that have taken us in, but it s not a permanent situation obviously and it could be months yet until we re back. and fema has offered assistance with a motel room, but the picture that you just saw on the monitor was of our home and when the inspector game to see whether or not we needed disaster assistance, they determined that we needed $91.52 to make our home habitable again and safe. so it was almost a laugh.
people are taking a little more of a look. obviously, when you get more headlines on radiation, panic could set back in, but for now, people focusing more on facts and less on fear. that means a bit of a rebound here. second story though, and you guys have to watch this one. this is the more important story. the middle east once again, it s moving to the front corner of oil. it s up 1.52. oil is a big story. bahrain s markets are shut down. you have a state of martial law. people start to see issues. the final thing here in the u.s.a., fed added in additional references to inflation, which is the big fear and today, we got the producer price numbers. they rose 1.6% last month. they were only supposed to rise six tenths of the percent.
