So FEMA flew in Sunday evening and went to work on the next weekday. Yeah, I do think that is pretty shabby. The federal government knew that conditions were right for widespread tornadoes in the area. It should not take two days for them to mobilize if they insist on calling the shots from DC. They should have people ready to go at a minutes notice.

There is no reason for an entire county to be declared a disaster area. If the government is going to dip into the federal treasury and assist victims of disasters, then every American citizen should qualify for help without being required to live in a county that has been designated a disaster area.

If you knew anything about the area you would know there is places FEMA have not been able to see. Roads have been blocked off for days. Old Route 3 is just now accessible.


Officials say people in Magoffin and Martin Counties should start getting their information together so when the federal disaster declaration is made, they can start applying immediately.
