"Are you at all familiar with this area?" Reasonably. I am also reasonably familiar with hurricanes and how they get responded to from Carla on. If it was only Slidell and New Orleans, you would have a point. But that whole area from Louisiana to Alabama only recently starting getting supplies. Some, like Grand Isle are very problematic. Others, aren't.

And the reason why it wasn't distributed is? Supplies didn't get into Slidell and the other damaged areas until Thursday. There still are areas in Mississippi and Alabama that haven't gotten food or water. As far as your theory about all the roads being out, are those busses flying in? I10 was passable from early on. Slidell is cut off from both the east and the west. How come reporters got there on Wednesday and showed us the extent of the damage? In fact, if it wasn't for the reporters, we wouldn't know what the hell was going on. BTW you all have made a mess of Iraq.....trust me when I tell you will not get away with making a mess of my country.
