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.
And why in God's name would you fly them to Charleston, SC in the first place realizing that the hurricane season isn't even over yet. Talk about stupidity.
