1. Though they seem to have ignored the pleas to get the National Guard in there yesterday.

Today, they are desperately needed in Houston to help get people out of their homes as the flooding continues to get worse, as it will for the next 6 days at least.

2. They are in Afghanistan.

Google and you will see many are deployed there.
Every state in the area should have activated their units.

4. On a positive note...

We're still operating under President Obama's last budget, rather than president Trump's proposed budget, with its $600 million cut to FEMA funding.

5. "The head of FEMA seems incompetent"

I distinctly recall another instance of hearing that statement during the flooding of a Gulf area during a previous Republican administration.......
