Thanks for the links and quotes LE.

Wonder what FEMA's aftermath of this storm will be? Especially since the timing of this storm is so critical to those in power. And, the news is being filled with people complaining about being inconvenienced.

FWIW..... My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones and/or their homes have been DESTROYED. And to those who are truely unable to help themselves - elderly, infirm, etc. (Nothing that follows should be construed that we aren't biblically responsible for helping those who are less fortunate than ourselves.)

Yet, I have little to no patience for those who didn't lose their homes or worse and are expecting immediate relief in the magnitude in this disaster. Yes, I know it's cold. I grew up in an uninsulated farm house that wasn't heated at night. (NC record low is -5 for this area.) Few, with homes intact, have valid excuses for complaints with the amount of advance warning that was issued. Even the very poor could have filled their pots, pans and clean soda bottles with water before this storm hit. Shouldn't everyone in cold climates have enough blankets/quilts to keep warm if the heat fails? etc & etc -- self-reliance and independence --

FEMA will oil the squeeking wheels, but at what cost that'll only become apparent, perhaps years later, if this world stands that long. Government has created this entitled society over the last 100 years or so. So much so, that any attempt to undo some of the damage that's been done is heralded as an attack on the "unfortunate". The unfortunate who demand even more and a more rapid response or the wheels will squeek even louder.

What's happened to prepare in 7 years of feast to weather 7 years of famine?
