Members of the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas are regrouping after being hit by Hurricane Rita.

The reservation lost power for nearly a week after the storm hit. Now that it's back on Sharon Miller, the tribe's public relations director, said tribal members finally got to buy food and restock their refrigerators.

"I spent $155 on groceries. The grocery stores must have loved us," Miller told The Lufkin Daily News.

The reservation is located in East Texas outside of Houston.
