FEMA accused of flying evacuees to wrong Charleston


(CNN) -- Add geography to the growing list of FEMA fumbles.

A South Carolina health official said his colleagues scrambled Tuesday when FEMA gave only a half-hour notice to prepare for the arrival of a plane carrying as many as 180 evacuees to Charleston.

But the plane, instead, landed in Charleston, West Virginia, 400 miles away.

It was not known whether arrangements have been made to care for the evacuees or transport them to the correct destination.

A call seeking comment from FEMA was not immediately returned.

10. That explains why they never got to NO. They were looking for

the "city" of Louisiana per DHS orders. When they couldn't find it, they flew to Los Angeles instead.
