Disaster Area

Not sure what conclusion to draw from this but Florida is already asking for President Obama to declare flooded counties in the state a disaster area, which I don't find any indication that federal disaster area status has been sought for the Jackson and Williamson county region. The last reference to Carbondale I find from FEMA is about a boil water order and a mention that no federal disaster assistance has been sought (Scroll down). State distaster status yes, but not federal.
