Oops. Sorry Charlie.
FEMA notified the wrong city of Charleston about a planeload of Katrina evacuees about to arrive. The plane landed in Charleston, West Virginia, but FEMA notified Charleston, South Carolina, to be prepared for the arrival. Well, who could've possibly known that there would be TWO cities named Charleston in the U.S? I guess that's why we've been using those funny 3-letter airport codes--since about 1930.
I give up.
Knoxville, Tennessee, is expecting 550 evacuees to arrive today. I hope Knoxville, Iowa, is ready.
