We had a major failure at the local level. And a lot of this was beyond their competence. I don't see how the Feds could have moved faster. If they have this under control by Monday, the clamor will die down. This is a classic example of how the 24/7/365 media can both cover a disaster, and hype it. I would have agreed with you yesterday. However, after the third day, it is stunning how many places have received zero food and water. It isnt just New Orleans. The reports out of Slidell and Biloxi didnt paint a particularly good picture either. It looks like things started getting better in NO towards nightfall, but they really did seem about 24 hours behind. I am sure that many will call this nitpicking, but that extra day cost some people their lives and many people an untold amount of suffering. Slacker
