Another casualty of sequestration?

Will there be enough money in FEMA's budget to cover the Oklahoma tornado plus the damage that will undoubtedly occur during this year's hurricane season which begins very soon?  Heck, these events affect only the average Joe.  Why should we care how much is available to help them?

Tom Coburn, one of Oklahoma's Senators, believes that any aid to Oklahoma should be balanced by budget cuts elsewhere.  I guess he can consider himself consistent, but maybe Emerson was right, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds."
