On August 26 I headed south from Boston with a 32-foot Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) trailer, one of two purchased on eBay for $5,500 apiece. Some 53,000 Mississippi and Louisiana families, survivors of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, still live in toxic trailers like the one I was pulling. My mother moved out of hers about six weeks ago and only recently said that her eyes have finally stopped burning. This summer, after two years of dodging, FEMA conceded that people are indeed getting sick from these things and pledged to relocate current occupants and offer refunds to those who bought surplus trailers.
