CNN: FEMA head might be replaced.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/14/politics/fema-brock-long-ig-investigation-white-house/index.html

The White House considered replacing Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Brock Long, who is the subject of an ongoing Department of Homeland Security inspector general investigation, before Hurricane Florence hit the East Coast, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

Citing a source familiar with the matter, the newspaper reported that senior White House officials discussed replacing Long in the past several days, but chief of staff John Kelly ultimately decided to leave Long in his role until the internal watchdog's final report was completed.

In regards to them replacing him is, "internal watchdog's final report was completed" code word for let's hope that this hurricane doesnt bite is in the ass, like Puerto Rico did, and if it doesnt we will replace him then?
