"Something should've been on this corner three days ago," Chapman, 60, said Saturday as he whipped up dinner for his neighbors.
He used wood from his demolished produce stand to cook fish, rabbit, okra and butter beans he'd been keeping in his freezer. Although many houses here, about five miles inland, are still standing, they are severely damaged. Corrugated tin roofs lie scattered on the ground.
"I'm just doing what I can do," Chapman said. "These people support me with my produce stand every day. Now it's time to pay them back."
``I must give him his due. He has considerably cretinized me.'' Lautréamont
