He asked her if FEMA was slow in pre-positioning FEMA supplies as in at Staten Island.

She looked at him in amazement and said, we'd never position supplies here on the coastline...they would be washed out to sea during the storm.

Priceless moment. Wolf was speechless.

Big cities. Big demand.

Why so cynical?
