nothing is gonna help when people are stupid enough to live next to water that is 10ft higher than the town.
the levees turned out to be as much as 8ft too short to combat teh storm surge in some areas. no amount of planning was ever even considered for that scenario.
as far as forwarning people, that storm was on the radar shown on ever news network in the country and pointed at their town for a week before the local warning was issued. i if told you that a hurricane was going to touch down directly on your house in 9 days would you need to be told to leave?
face it, no law maker or city planner can ever account for all teh stupid that is out there. those stooges taht are crying about response times of help are the same asshats that shot at helicopters trying to bring in relief supplies and had their pictures taken as they stole tv's, beer, car stereos, and millions of dollars of other non-essential items.
this "proud" community even wrecked and looted their own stadium when they were given a free place to stay.
they lived below sea level, they wrecked and robbed their own town, and i think they should be left to figure out their own way to try to fix the dump.[/rant]
later
