Well I think a big part of the problem is that the people in NO have no idea how bad the situation really is. They just had a newsman down there, and he repeatedly said that people just seemed like by Monday everything will be back to normal.

On the news too, and I agree to a point, that FEMAs response is a disgrace.
They are just today getting water etc into the city, 2 days s/b the limit.

Ok they didn't know the city would flood, but actually all along they had pretty much decided the storm surge would probably flood the city. Well it didn't, but the levy broke.

They've also spent way too much effort/energy etc rescuing these 1s/2s people from roofs etc. This is a difficult time, and they have to use the resources as efficiently as possible. Most of these people could have gotten out earlier, so unfortunaley make them wait.
Whats the sayin, the ? of the few vs the many,

They practice what to do in the event of a major disaster, maybe they need to plan and practice what to do BEFORE. This wasn't like the Tsunmai or an Earthquake, they kew it was coming, maybe not how bad it would be.

When the Hurricane Warning comes out have 20, 50, 100 Semis filled with water, food and medical supplies ready to move.

Last but not least, no matter what is said about the response, I believe they said that there is 90,000 sq miles of destruction.

Just difficult to relate to.
