CLINTON, Miss. -- Nearly one month after the April 23-24 tornadoes, federal disaster assistance provided to tornado survivors reached more than $2.4 million, according to the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
More than 1,600 individuals, families and businesses registered for some type of assistance. Approved funds included low-interest loans, and grants for temporary housing expenses, essential home repairs and other serious disaster-related needs.
"With help from their neighbors, voluntary agencies, local government, MEMA and FEMA, tornado survivors are working hard to get back on their feet," said MEMA Director Mike Womack. "We're proud of the recovery so far, but there's more work to do."
"Through teamwork, we've been able to help a lot of people in the last month," said Federal Coordinating Officer Michael Bolch. "FEMA is only part of the team, and we're thankful for each and every one of the disaster response agencies who've contributed to the recovery efforts."
Here is a summary of assistance provided to Mississippians through Thursday, May 20:
- More than $1.8 million has been approved for housing expenses, including temporary rental assistance, home repair costs and assistance toward replacing destroyed homes.
- Nearly $280,000 has been approved to cover other serious disaster-related needs, such as medical and dental expenses and essential personal possessions.
- More than $135,000 has been set aside for disaster unemployment assistance.
- The U.S. Small Business Administration has distributed nearly 800 applications for low-interest disaster loans for homeowners, renters and businesses of all sizes. Nearly $410,000 has been approved.
- Inspectors completed more than 1,100 inspections of homes so FEMA can determine eligibility for housing assistance.
- Nearly 1,800 visits have been made to Disaster Recovery Centers jointly operated by MEMA and FEMA.
- AmeriCorps members and volunteers completed 19,415 hours and finished at least 356 different work assignments in the disaster areas, including debris removal and minor repairs.
- More than 2,200 contacts made by MEMA/FEMA community relations teams canvassing the disaster areas since April 29. The teams go door-to-door to offer individuals and small business owners information about available disaster assistance programs.
- Approximately 2,340 publications, which provide helpful rebuilding advice and information on the National Flood Insurance Program, have been made available to more than 320 Mississippians who visited FEMA specialists at recovery centers and/or area building supply stores. Similar information is available online at www.fema.gov/rebuild/recovery/resources.

out of the abb and into the abt2
Drum roll please!
We are out of the ABT club! We actually have a backsplash. The only leftovers are the trim and table - therefore the ABT2
Here is a sneak preview of the backsplash - I was hoping the trim would be done today but didn't happen. The table is on order and the Amish builder called to see if we could modify the dimensions slightly.
I wanted a little something more over the cooktop and considered a second accent row - but just didn't feel right, so hunted while visiting DM and found the accent pieces.
The pictures look more white than in reality
Backsplash - Grazia Rixi Crema
Accent row - Beach
Accent tiles - Impulse deco
Grout Tek Antique white
South and West wall
East Wall
East wall close up
South wall - cooktop area
It is really hard to take pictures due to the windows in the area - but hopefully when totally done, we will have a full set of good pictures!
Thanks for all of your inspirations - especially CKGM and Chitown!
MJ - Thanks! The colors are hard to show in a picture. The counter is Cambria Buckingham from the Waterstone Collection - rumor has it that they are back ordered on this one....
Andrea - Thanks! I think this is a coast to coast kitchen - Tiles from Italy via California and accent pieces from Pennsylvania. I think I could have found the accent pieces locally but just ran out of time
Four - Thanks - where are you - any luck on the your counter? I still have guilt feelings that it took two slabs for our kitchen due to the avalanche!
Still waiting on shipment, which is supposed to be sometime this week, so crossing my fingers.
No need for guilt. :) The avalanche wasn't your fault, and really cambria should be better at ramping up production on the more popular colors. And with communication. I'd better get a cheese board after all this waiting. Just sayin'.
Williamsem - thanks - you had a lot of input on my decisions also!!
Cat mom - yeah!!! and thanks - So hard for me as I am not a color or detail person - good at the whole picture but these little details.... You need the wall color yesterday? Oh - grout......
Four - I have my cheese board - I did drop a large hint with my KD/cabinet peeps and sure enough - it arrived! I haven't used it yet but it fits in with my cutting boards just perfectly. I can hardly wait to see yours!!!
I heartily approve! Very nice tile design and execution!
Fabulous! Just enought eye candy to make a statement. It was definitely worth the wait and all the hassle of bringing home samples. Can't wait to see your new table too.
Two little side notes. I have had 8 extra people at my house all week. They all loved the yogurt berry muffins I made using your recipe. Thanks again for that. Second, with all those extra people in my house my kitchen got its first boo-boo. My new refrigerator is now sporting a small dent. I'm surprised that I am not really upset about it.and that's pretty amazing since I am somewhat of a perfectionist.
Hope your kitchen stays accident free and that you get to enjoy it for years to come.
Congrats, late to the party but it sounds like you had quite a wait - hurray that they're in, and I love the accent tiles, great solution rather than a 2nd row.
Kitchen looks fabulous! Bravo.
(off to search function to find out what the avalanche was)
It looks beautiful! That accent tile is just the right amount of interest and looks great with the cabinets and countertops. Great job!!
Ohh, this is good. I don't often care for backsplashes, but I LIKE this one. Enough pattern in the accent row to add variety, but a perfect complement to the other surfaces and colors. I like the diagonal, horizontal, and vertical lines in the BS. All subtle but rich. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry I couldn't get back sooner- some of you saw the other post about my husband's bicycle accident - turns out he is OK - just a concussion, so the brain bucket worked.
CK - thanks! Love your support after all of your struggles. You helped by steering me clear of the variable color tiles and paying attention to the grout!
Bellsmom - Thanks! I was never a backsplash person either - so this is new territory for me also!
Labbie, Maggie, Annie - Thanks! This was a labor of love - I have a whole box of tile samples in the basement - anyone need samples - I have them! - Wait, I also have paint samples in the basement - LOL!!
Aliris - Wiggly? Is that a new GW term!
Breezy - Glad to be out as I am not sure my DH would have survived much longer with an incomplete kitchen.
Nineteen - The retention strap broke in the truck while transporting mine and a few other countertops - and only a couple miles from our house. I was so disappointed - but we had a new one in 1 week - poor Four - she has been waiting so long for her Buckingham and I "tease" her that it is all our fault that there is a back log of Buckingham - not that we had anything to do with the truck problem or the production from Cambria....
Badger - Eye Candy for sure!! On our morning runs, we keep an eye out for eye candy runners - we even named one of our routes eye candy as best chance of spotting eye candy males on the route - oops - hope my DH isn't reading this!! Glad you loved the muffins - did you try the oatmeal - it is great with groups also. Now, we have something else in common - our old kitchen had a dinged fridge door! Small world!!!
Ginny and Angie - thanks for the support - I had such a tough time figuring this out. Definitely not my forte - but glad it came out right as my DH wouldn't let me do it again...
OldBat - thanks!!! I will post pictures after we finish the trim. The glass cabinet has LED tape light inside. Believe it or not - the floor is the original floor - we just had it refinished.
Annsch - Thanks - warm was what I was trying to achieve - too many gray days around here!!
Pooh - you were also one of my inspirations - I think you kept me in check with reality - especially not going with the back painted glass.
We only have trim detail to complete - and hopefully our table will come in the next couple of weeks (maybe even next week as I know they were making it - called to see if they could modify the dimensions)
Now to take a deep breath (and take care of DH for a couple of days)
Chitown - when I saw your kitchen, I knew what I wanted to do - your kitchen has subway tiles but the concept was born!
It worked out perfectly using the 5x5 as the first row as just enough room to fit the beach accent!
Thanks for you "help" and inspiration - it was an aha moment and as you know, I have referred to your kitchen on several posts!!!
DH is doing better - he still is having headaches but his brain is unscrambled! I gave him orders not to drive to work tomorrow or Tuesday - he will try to work in spurts from home.
I just love this forum and thanks everyone for feedback - By the time I post my final pictures, you will all be bored with my kitchen!
Donaleen - Thanks! My DM told me I was getting too many dark elements - so started to look for some lighter pieces in the backsplash. I was sure the Grazia Butter was going to be perfect but just didn't work (as much as I like others with it including CK)
Chief76 - Hope your DH is more engaged than mine was - but he came through in the end.
Bahacca - thanks - you still have lots of company in the ABB club!
A2 .... absolutely LOVE your kitchen. I love the stain on your cabinets .... very warm looking.
And your BS is stunning. Simple and elegant at the same time. It's kinda like ours, only we did only the diagonal and then *blocks* behind the sink. I always love tile set on the diagonal .... gives a little more pattern without being too bold.
Your stripe is perfect too!!! And your accent tiles.
Very well done!!! Thanks for emailing me about looking for it ... as I did miss it. Keep in touch!!!
Jody Jean - Your kitchen was my first inspiration - and you helped me along the way! Thanks!! Glad I could find your email.
Sandesurf - I posted on your question - but bet you found the answer on here - Grazia Rixi Crema with Tec antique white grout
Phoggie - Funny story on the color - couldn't figure it out and had to make my decision - everything looked like I tried to match the floor and failed. I walked into a series of cabinets at the KD store and said - Perfect - sometimes you just know it when you see it! Oh - Brookhaven Autumn Cherry with black glaze.
Momo7 - Wow - and thanks!!!!
ABB is the all but backsplash club. It is a take off of the ABD in university towns- all but dissertation. ABB is used frequently on GW.
I made up the ABT2 as a spin off from a2 from my handle and location. In this case it stands for all but trim and table! This 3 week project is now pushing 5 months....
a2 .... hey, so GLAD my kitchen BS tile was one of your inspiration ideas!!! Those BS's sure take a lot of time to *find* the right one!! It was way harder to pick this than my granite.
Your kitchen is just lovely .... and I *know* you cook way more than I do .... ENJOY!!!
Tile design and work looks really great. Love the design, so glad this thread was linked to a current thread.

Woman has close encounter with bear at The Meridian on Gulfshore Blvd.
NAPLES - It was an ordinary Thursday night on the job for Tamela Taylor, a night guard at The Meridian on Gulfshore Blvd. in Naples.
Then the bear came.
"At 3:40 this morning I was surprised to see a bear on our front camera," said Taylor on Friday, calmly recalling her first of two encounters she would have with the large animal in the early morning hours.
"I could hear him growling," said Taylor, who immediately called police. Taylor, who works for Abacus Investigation and Security, said the police came about ten minutes later. When they didn't find the bear, they left to look elsewhere.
"They told me to look out for it," said Taylor, who returned to her duties. About an hour later, she was standing in the narrow corridor between the parking area and the building, when she realized she was not alone.
"There was the bear," said Taylor. By her estimation, it was only 10 to 12 feet away.
"I was startled," said Taylor, who said the bear seemed equally startled by their second unlikely meeting of the night.
The second encounter didn't last much longer than the first. Taylor made a snap decision.
She turned and headed quickly for the door, worried as she ran that she might frighten the bear into action. She got inside, closed the door, and called the police.
By the time police arrived, the bear was gone again. The deputy who arrived told Taylor that he had seen the bear near the Village at Venetian Bay just minutes earlier. The bear has not been spotted since.
Naples police spokesman Mike Herman said in a written statement that a Florida Fish and Wildlife official believed the bear was a black bear. Herman added in the statement that residents need to be aware as they walk through the area.
"If you see it, call police," Herman said.
Friday morning's incident was not the first time a black bear has decided to visit the city of Naples. In 2003, a black bear was spotted roaming in the 2500 block of 14th Street North near Naples High School.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokeswoman Gabriella Ferraro said the agency is monitoring the situation and is waiting to see what the bear in the most recent sighting does.
Black bears are found throughout Florida and are generally not aggressive toward other creatures.
"We're not going to set up a trap, because this bear is on the move," said Ferraro, adding that conservation biologists haven't seen the bear yet. "We're going to find its specific location and then take action."
Ferraro urged residents to call the agency's tips hot line to report any sightings.
"Those messages would get to our biologists (in Naples)," Ferraro said. However, she said the best scenario for this bear is that it moves on.
"It may have moved on already," she said.
To report a bear sighting to the Conservation Commission call 1-888-404-3922.
