Well thought and expressed. It is conclusively clear that the shortcomings, failures and inefficiency is on the local and state authorities: mayor and governor. They have failed as leaders, their irresponsibility before their constituents is appaling. I wish they could be demoted and thrown in jail for being "figures" without any substance.
Terrible failings at those levesl IMHO from well before the storm ever made landfall. Apparently one of the weather service execs had to also lean on the mayor the Saturday before as well.
