CBS News correspondent Randall Pinkston reports that survivors of Hurricane Rita are becoming victims of heat (video). Officials in Jefferson County, Texas, are struggling to get generators, but are being met with a sluggish response from FEMA.

"This is the worst thing I've ever been through," said Danny Hunter, 56. "I called FEMA this morning, and they said they couldn't help us because this hasn't been declared a disaster area."

…As temperatures climbed well into the 90s again Tuesday, local authorities begged the federal and state governments for help.

"East Texas needs everyone's attention this hour, right now, and it doesn't matter whether it's the state or FEMA or the Corps of Engineers. I don't really care whose fault it is. It needs help now," said Rep. Kevin Brady. "These communities are the last to complain, but they've reached the end."

3. Why should it change? FEMA is the way bu$h wants it.
It it worked the way it was supposed to, he'd have much less of an excuse to sent the regular army in for police duties.
