Or are you just pushing an untenable position for the sake of argument? We've seen FEMA respond on the same fscking day in past disasters. This was an unmitigated failure of management. The agency that rsponded to other disasters with competence in the past, failed to do so under the shrub admin.

Hand waving aside, they should have done better.

I have a bet with myself on the who and how of responses, I'll let y'all know how it goes.
