I was praying it would move further east than it did. Another 30 miles might have made the difference between the levee holding and the levee breaking, and that was what really doomed New Orleans. <sigh> In any event, it was pretty clear that everyone involved should have been able to see that New Orleans was in grave, grave danger some 36 hours before the storm hit. Time enough to move in troops, supplies, provisions, everything. I don't think G_d himself could plug the breech in the levees once the storm hit but at least they coulda been better prepared to support the population, resuce and evacuation efforts. Nothing will convince me otherwise.
