How long does it usually take FEMA to respond?
Anyone have any ideas or links showing whether or not FEMA typically responds more quickly to hurricane disasters? Or are they always kind of slow?

1. When I was waiting for help during Hurricane Andrew
I waited three days, thanks to the first Bush.

2. Some of the NO victims have been interviewed saying
They've lived through other hurricanes and FEMA (like the De Witt FEMA) was wonderful. Right there as needed.

4. I read that they were on the ground WAITING for Ivan and
Charley, but that was an election year and Florida was a battleground state...
