The floods in the midwest are bad. Around 4,000 people have been evacuated and are staying in Red Cross or FEMA-assisted shelters.
Hurricane Katrina displaced HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of NOLA residents, many permanently.
it is not as bad, or worse. It is a bummer, though.
And besides, you haven't given FEMA enough time to fail in Iowa yet!
It IS bad, though. Here's a pic of the Simon Estes Amphitheater in downtown Des Moines. It's a place I visit every summer. Maybe not this summer.
