I wasn't looking for much, but if they could have helped with my deductible it would have been nice.  Instead the funds went to people without insurance.   So that's what I get for being responsible.  

To be fair, you were the lucky one.  For Harvey, average insurance payout was $140K.  Average FEMA payout (no insurance) was $4K.  Your responsibility saved your ass.

Tell me about Red Cross

During the Wimberley floods, they literally considered other aid organizations to be their "competitors."

They were so worthless that they left Wimberley after 2 days.

Also, Google "Red Cross Haiti."

Why the methodists? I mean, I don't have an issue with them, just wondering why them specifically. What about the Amish?

 

I have several close friends who work for UMCOR, and that's just a copy-paste of ine of their fb posts.  "Anyone but RC" should be your main takeaway.

During WW2 my grandad (aircraft electrician w/ 9th AF) developed a loathing of the Red Cross. Something involving a girl they rescued from who knows what hell, and Red Cross basically treated her like shit.

Holy crap.  Note to self:  if you ever see a water or flame retardant air drop inbound, run.

Water weighs about 8lbs per gallon, and getting hit with even one 8lb unit moving at a hundred fifty knots would be awful. Now imagine a thousand units hitting you

You sound like the campers that set up their tents close to my Dad's house when the water balloon launchers came out... allegedly
