Well, I'm ready and now Mr. Peach isn't. LOL

I will also add that it's dishonest in the extreme for the Mayor to decry that help got there too late when he called for a mandatory evacuation too late.

It's been documented on FR that it takes FEMA about 4 days to respond. If WE can find this out, why didn't the mayor know this?

And as Mayor, why was he meeting with lawyers Friday night to see if he had the legal authority to call for a mandatory evacuation? How could he not know this?

This guy knew the levees could only withstand a Category 3 hurricane. They broke. Help didn't get there immediately. In part because his OWN governor told the president she needed 24 hours to decide whether she even wanted the feds there or not.

And I could turn this entire thing around. If 80% evacuation is so terrific and he knew that was about the percentage that would evacuate, then he knew he'd have untold dead with that category force storm.

So where's the big surprise? That help didn't get there fast enough? If four days is the norm for FEMA WITHOUT the water situation in NO due to the broken levees, he should have not been surprised at ALL. Also, when the anarchy started and FEMA had to withdraw and helicopter rescuers were shot at, did he really think things were going to go faster with those conditions?
