I don't think anyone thought they'd be looking at the largest natural disaster ever to hit the United States.

All I know is that last I knew disaster preparedness was still mainly a local and state responsibility. The feds can't be blamed for voters who elect morons, and morons who elect to stay instead of evacuate.
