I think the nature of the coverage is really different, and I don't know if it's the relative length of time it can take for a flood to happen and for waters to recede vs. a hurricane taking place in a much shorter span.
There doesn't seem to be the same sense of people in the Midwest being victims of bad government, but that can creep in overtime I suppose.
I'm not sure why there's not as much public outcry to provide assistance.
ETA: I don't really mean this post to seem so pessimistic. I think it's great that the flood disasters have been managed as well as they have, but it seems an opportunity to analyze the contrast in well-managed situations vs. chaos and we're not getting that kind of coverage.
