As someone who holds a meteorology degree, I will likely be more qualified than whatever non-scientist is appointed to fill the NOAA slot. And if Trump really does care so deeply about his core voters (most hurricane-prone states are Red), he'd get those positions filled yesterday by qualified individuals. His approvals won't be pretty when a Category 5 slams the Gulf Coast and does mass devastation due in part to a hobbled FEMA/NOAA.
And yet somehow Louisiana swung to the Republicans between 2004 and 2008.
