Come to think of it, haven't heard any reports that FEMA is doing anything.
Is 'Brownie' still around--can we blame him?
Of course, the lamestream media haven't touched the story.

As I heard, the ice storm in Kentucky was on a Tuesday. By
that Friday, FEMA was collecting equipment, and transporting
it to distribution points near the affected area. However,
after three or four days of no power, you could get kind of
cold.
