#1 Stupid-ass white folks. If only they'd gone in for a little post-disaster rape, murder and cannibalism, they'd be rolling in FEMA money.

#2 How did the county vote go in the last election. Just asking. If you don't know maybe FEMA may know.

#4 Two words: flood insurance. If you have a garage and basement that can sustain $20k of damage, you can afford it.

#5 I grew up there. (So did Tom Ridge, actually.) According to Wikipedia, 6 of the 7 county legislators are Dems, as is the county executive. The One carried the county by 20%.
So I am not sure what the problem is. They proved their loyalty; they should be rewarded by Federal largesse.
