ABOUT FEMA AND NORTH CAROLINA I've said on earlier blogs that I'm holding fire about the federal response because I've lived through hurricanes and the aftermath so I know how hard it is to do help and recovery. That being said, time is ticking and we're seeing stories like this one about private citizens being threatened for HELPING. I've got former FEMA director and current KHOW morning show host Michael Brown on at 2:30 to talk about what the realities of recovery really are in a situation like this.
