From a reader's forum at the Times-Picayune, a report from an evacuee:

"We are stranded in Tallahassee. There is absolutely no compassion here whatsoever. The Hampton Inn in Tallahassee is pretty much throwing us out because of a football game. We are running out of money with no way of getting more out of the bank. We cannot use debit cards and our credit cards are maxed out.

"I thought I would encounter a little compassion and understanding here in Florida seeing they have been through similar situations. There is none. People here and the manager of this motel are very cold and uncaring. If anyone out there has any suggestions please email me asap. I cannot get in touch with red cross or fema. Cell phones don't work. Can't get hold of any family member for help. Please help!!!!"
