Uses it to criticize FEMA.

“We’re not getting any help,” she said. “We need food. It’s just crazy.”

Long said FEMA already had 23 distribution points where residents could get food, water, and other essentials.

Food and water are being airdropped into the hardest-hit areas. Three million ready-to-eat meals, 2 million gallons of water, and 2 million pounds of ice are being prepared for distribution. Much of it is headed for centralized Emergency Supply Distribution Centers, or Points of Distribution (POD), where the public can pick up emergency supplies.

FEMA has released more than 700,000 meals and almost a half million gallons of water to Florida to supplement local resources being distributed by state, voluntary, and faith-based organizations, such as the Salvation Army that has mobilized 48 mobile feeding units.

In areas without electricity and spotty cell service, however, information like that isn't reaching people who need it most.

Lynette Cordeno, 54, a retired Army sergeant, joined others in Callaway looking for something to eat. "I just keep looking for steeples and long lines, but I haven’t found much so far. We are walking around with no internet, no cell service, no way to even ask for help,” she told the New York Times.

#1, when a disaster is on its way to you, you should use the couple of days warning to A) get the hell out; and/or B) find out where emergency distribution centers will be set up.

#2, if you live in Florida, especially along the coast, this is not your first hurricane rodeo. You get at least one every single year. This is one of the hazards of letting your handlers erase your memory every week - you lose valuable information.

And an Army Sergeant, no less! WTH??
