Rural Alabama residents struggle for aid after Ivan
In Wilcox County poor rural Alabama residents endure five days without power or phone service after Hurricane Ivan. Renna Moton and her husband struggle to find food and repairs while officials focus on the coast. At Atmore and Uniontown crowds seek food vouchers that never arrive. FEMA officials say 100 community relations workers serve Alabama, with 12 in Wilcox County and 250 expected soon.
