Just hours after FOX10 News pressed the White House for answers, President Joe Biden signed a major disaster declaration, paving the way for Moss Point tornado victims to get the help they desperately need.
FOX10 News highlighted the desperation Friday, sent the story to the White House, and the very next morning, the President approved the Federal Emergency Management Agency assistance.“It was a blessing because I knew I couldn’t afford to build a house back like it was,” said 95-year-old Ernest Watson, lifetime resident of Moss Point. “Hopefully FEMA will come to my rescue.
”FOX10 News’s Lacey Beasley first met the 95-year-old last week while shoveling debris single-handedly out of the home he lived in for over 70 years, where he raised all seven of his children.“I was trying to keep the doors closed because the doors kept coming open,” said Watson.“If this isn’t a disaster, I don’t know what is,” he said. “Local people have been giving, but nothing nationally. Not FEMA.”“The president has signed the document, permitting FEMA to come,” said Watson.
