Imagine for just a minute, that instead of water a couple feet deep in these flooded areas, the waster was six or eight feet deep. Instead of people holed up in their homes, they've crawled into their attics as their house filled with water. Instead of having access to whatever food and water they had in the house, even such niceties and toilets that don't work, they were in their attics at 120 degrees or higher. The suffering is just inconceivable.

Instead of people complaining about being stuck in their houses for three days, they were stuck in their ATTICs for three days. The "rescue" operations in NOLA were people walking around neighborhoods with a spray can:



Today, when you drive around New Orleans neighborhoods, this symbol is a vivid and stark reminder of the scope of the tragedy there. We won't be seeing those in NJ.

It just doesn't even begin to compare. Floods are horrible, even those in the NE now. But Humvees can drive around in NJ right now. In August 2005, Humvees couldn't drive past these houses because they were under water up to the roof.
