there was warning for this perfect storm....why wasn't the Guard ready to go in and at least police areas?.......its ridiculous...

there seems to have been NO preparation....

was this on purpose?....silly notion I know...

I've been wondering the same thing. Couldn't they have had food, water, blankets, TP, meds, diapers, etc in semi's ready to bring in? Shelter's and shuttles readied?

With areas as densely populated as NYC and NJ, and after 9/11, I would've thought major prep plans were in place, there.
