"One likened it to the Tsunami, but only had the Tsunami waters not receded, which seems like a reasonable characterization." Outside of New Orleans the water receded a while ago.

re: I have yet to hear anyone explain what FEMA might have reasonably done in a different way that would have materially improved response. Are you kidding? What about the hospital ship in the gulf, loaded with relief supplies and snall boats, awaiting orders 'til the weekend. There were plenty of staging areas out of harms way... Florida, Texas or the southern gulf (for ships) come to mind. The guys running FEMA now are a bunch of hacks... that's why you like them. They know nothing about disaster relief... that's why all the talent from FEMA has left is disgust. John
