I honestly don't think anyone comprehended the scope of the disaster Some items from my morning's reading: - The area affected by Katrina is approximately the size of England. - It may take 6 months to finish pumping out NO and another 3 months for it to dry out. - They are going door to door in NO now, looking for bodies and routing out people who couldn't leave before or still refuse to (and are using guns). - Texas Gov. Rick Perry warned Saturday that his enormous state was running out of room, with more than 220,000 hurricane refugees camped out there and more coming. The consequences are just staggering. On an individual level, people are going to have to decide if they can put their lives on hold until NO is "fixed" (and what will that mean, anyway?) or move on. So many people are helping and giving but I'm afraid the blame game is inevitable.
