"IT was just a little mistake..."

Sorry, Red States are no longer eligible for FEMA assistance.
OMG! That is funny!
I’m just waiting for the media to do to Obama for this what they did to Bush over Katrina..............
.........thankfully I have all my Dostoevsky and Dickens with me..............
Come on, what with the Dems in charge of everything you’d think they’d take a little heat for not responding to this natural disaster.
Where’s FEMA?
Where’s obamma lamma ding dong?
Sean Penn also.
a million customers
AP premise alert - people from Kentucky aren’t people, just customers
wrong color also.
I don’t think you should post graphics from a racist web site.
Suck it up. That picture is darned funny.

How long you say you been here? Do you visit racist sites?
Otherwise, How would you know?
1. Batteries for the radio. Not those rechargeable, but real batteries. Or a wind up radio.
2. Cellphones won't work. Landline did work, but in the case of Kentucky lines are physically down. No phone.
3. Water. Our city had/has its own water plant. They had a generator to pump clean water. Rest of the cities didn't. Some areas ran out of water because of no pumps.
4. Not all my power comes from one source. Gas & Electric. Gas furnace, electric baseboards to supplement, fireplace.
We were warned quite profusely this storm was coming. My preparations included cooking up a roast that would last several days, checking the water supply anyway, locating and pulling out extra blankets, thermal underwear etc., checking the wood supply. We were ready for uncomfortable, but cozy. How many days backup? 7 days. After that cabin fever sets in.
Under normal winter-storm conditions a three day backup is recommended. Major ice storm conditions are very, very unpredictable. That storm hit Tues/Weds. for Kentucky with lots of ice. If people followed the routine...they are out of supplies.
The challenge for FEMA at this point is what? Moving people out of areas that are not going to be/have restored power for a few more weeks. FEMA can't restore power. That is up to the power company, FEMA can only run or manage the shelters. Other than that there is really very little they can do in the case of an ice storm.
You won’t hear a word from them. Of course now if someone claims to want to rebuild an “ivory” city I’m sure they will be all over that.
Race hustlers!
This crippling winter storm is just another sign of globull warming.
By the way is Al Gore finished hunting man-bear-pig yet?
That’s simple. ZerO hates rural White People....

Following is a summary of key federal disaster aid programs that can be made available as needed and warranted under President Obama’s emergency declaration issued for Kentucky.
“Emergency” is any occasion or instance in which the president determines that federal assistance is needed to supplement state and local efforts to save lives and protect property and public health and safety or to avert the threat of a catastrophe in any part of the United States.
Assistance for the State and Affected Local Governments Can Include as Required:

How long I’ve been here is irrelevant.
I know it’s a racist site because I went to the URL posted in the picture. I’m not calling the picture racist, but go to chimpout.com, the site posted on the graphic and presumably the source of it.
For one thing, racism is evil, for another thing, we don’t need to feed negative stereotypes of what we believe in.
Your born on date is not irrelevant.
Your arrogance is transparent and telling. I doubt you will last long posing under your screenname.
That picture has been posted here many times before.
You’re one of those people for whom internet forums are extremely important, aren’t you?
I am not, but you seem to be.
Good advice. I would also add filling up bathtubs for washing and toilet flushing. Also, make sure you have enough prescription medicine. And, check on your neighbors. This is the worst ice storm I have ever seen. We had about 2 inches here. Actually, our power hasn’t gone out, the lines in my sub-division are underground. The radio said about 80% of the area was without power at one time, they estimate mid Feb. before power is fully restored. One thing that hurts is the massive scale of this ice storm.Power companies that usually send/share crews to distressed areas are dealing with their own damage.
On vacation in Hawaii again.
