What a story…FEMA ordered some ice and the rest is history.
Ninety-one thousand tons of ice cubes, that is, intended to cool food, medicine and sweltering victims of the storm. It would cost taxpayers more than $100 million, and most of it would never be delivered. (1,820,000 pounds) (4,500 truckloads)
Truck after truck, all loaded with ice cubes were shuttled from one state to another as officials tried to figure out what to do with all of it. In the end, 59 % of the ice was trucked to storage locations all over the country, yes, even to Portland, Maine.
Here’s one story…just Google “FEMA ICE” for more.
