FEMA recently ordered 420 million survival meals? That's like a 7000% increase from the norm. Is there something we don't know?

I haven't a clue about this. I would like to know more. Where do you get figures like this? Where do you find out what the norm is?

Never mind. I clicked on the link. If you read up on the New Madrid earthquake fault zone, you can see that the area has a history, with major earthquake disasters and tremendous loss of homes. Also, it covers a huge area. ( map at http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/is-the-new-madrid-fault-earthquake-zone-coming-to-life/comment-page-1 ) Still, 7 million victims needing food for 10 days seems like an awful lot.

That's what I was thinking, anyway I just saw it perusing news sites, but that figure stood out.

Rule of thumb: When it comes to government and in case FEMA, there's ALWAYS things we don't know.
