Also, supplies were found outdoors without any protection from the rain and witness officials say they saw rats crawling all over the merchandise, which naturally, will have to be seized and thrown away.  The Governor is ordering the Dept. of Justice to further investigate how FEMA supplies are being distributed by local municipality staff.
