Five days in a FEMA trailer with no power, no air conditioning and 82-year old Pearline Baker says enduring conditions in the overheated trailer has been more than she could stand.

"But this here is worse than Katrina,” Pearline Baker said, “because we been out of air since Monday, and it is really hot in here. You see how hot it is, with y'all standing there. This is the worst time of my life."

The power died Monday, when a vehicle snagged the trailer's electric wires, and pulled them down so hard the temporary power pole snapped in two. Food in the refrigerator spoiled. And while Pearline and her daughters were so grateful to a neighbor who provided an extension cord to power fans, they still suffered. Sleep was almost impossible.

"The pillows are wet, the bed is wet,” said Peariline’s daughter, who is also named Pearline. “By me having diabetes, it is very uncomfortable. I just got operated on."

"It's 95 degrees outside, it’s a 100 and something in here,” said Pearline. “I'd say about 110 or 115 degrees. It's so hot in here until it’s not funny."

"I sit up all night, and I sit out here all day,” said her daughter.

They say the most frustrating thing was repeated attempts to get help produced no results, while the heat began to affect their health.

"Mad as hell because me, my sister and my mother have high blood pressure,” said Pearline’s other daughter, Shirley, “and the medicine I take -- it’s just, this heat is just making me sick, and I've been calling FEMA everyday."

"I have to keep my insulin in here, on ice," said Pearline’s daughter.

I contacted officials at both FEMA and Entergy, and asked them to work together to get the power restored to this trailer as quickly as possible. Both agencies say they are going right to work on it. In fact, a FEMA contractor was out here within the hour, saying things are now moving.

Within three hours, FEMA had contractors on the scene, and they quickly replaced the broken power pole. Entergy showed up shortly after to hang the wires to provide power to the trailer. Pearline Baker watched all the activity with a smile of relief.

"It's a blessing, it’s a wonderful feeling, this is. And thank God for you," said Pearline.

In less than five hours, the power to the Baker trailer was restored.
