i dont know anything about fema one way or another, but i live in swannanoa and i know there was looting here. the dude who owns the family dollar was telling his story to some lady in the parking lot and he used the nigger-word quite a lot. im guessing it was some local urban youth in the subsidized housing blocks the county dropped in our backyard. but given that my area does not have much to loot, and downtown asheville was basically unaffected by the storm, i think the looting was minimal.
