Red Cross closes for weekend; many complain

All the Red Cross Financial Assistance centers in south Mississippi closed over the weekend. The only one open was in Picayune. The Red Cross says they needed to catch up on paperwork: 70,000 claims filed in the last week.
This results in the article "Red Cross closes early, vexes many" containing the complaints of those who showed up for assistance and found a closed door. While the RC should have gotten the word out sooner, I'm sure they've got a lot of work to do and not enough people to do it.
