Meet the 180 Members of Congress Who Think They're Immune to Natural Disasters

Two and a half months after Hurricane Sandy struck the Northeast, the House of Representatives on Tuesday night approved a $50.7 billion emergency bill to fund emergency relief efforts by a vote of 241 to 180.

"Based on the extent of the damage, federal assistance is in dire need to help these communities recover and also prepare for future storms," wrote Mike Conaway (R-TX).

"I urge the President to approve this assistance without delay," said Sam Graves (R-MO). "Many communities…have been stretched to the limit preparing for and fighting this unprecedented flood."

"This storm left behind a disaster — there is no doubt, and it is the responsibility of the federal government to aid the state and counties in clean-up and repairing the damage the storm caused," pleaded Michael Burgess (R-TX).

Except! These members of Congress were talking about the natural disasters that hit their own communities. They, along with 176 other Republicans and one Democrat must be pretty sure nothing bad will ever happen in their districts again:
