re: #25 BigPapa

Your conclusion is illogical downright moronic.

Now that’s fixed for ya!

Pretty much. FEMA was never completely mobilized although they were at the ready and standing fast. The NOAA predictions were rather accurate. So much so that even I was voicing my opposition to the media hysteria I was viewing which did not match what I was seeing at NOAA. The Pentagon also had nearly 6,000 troops ready.

If you listen to the wingnuts then the USAF and Navy shouldn’t have flown all their aircraft in the region out of harms way. Had they remained many of those aircraft would have been damaged. The evacuations also included the many US Navy ships which left the Norfolk area facilities to avoid any chance of damage.

So I would ask these typical militarists. If FEMA was “wrong” are they willing to conclude that the Department of Defense and the services were wrong too for treating this storm as they did? Highly unlikely. They instead choose to vent their rage at FEMA much like Alex Jones.
