Who said anything about hours of notice? It's about the fact that most people aren't used to being stranded for a couple days on an overpass unless you are a survivalist. Our entire society has struggled for generations to improve our living conditions and when denied these conditions by nature it is a hardship, though obviously not worthy of FEMA assitance. That was for the lack of employment, shelter, clothing, transportation, access to bank accounts for weeks, healthcare, human dignity or simply food. For several hundred thousand people overnight.

This really isn't worth the time I'm spending on this and after I respond to your screed about oil availability and your derogative comments about people in NOLA I'm going to stop responding to you. I've made my point.

It is that many are not used to caring for themselves at any given time. It is a culture of 'gimme' and having things like housing, food, healthcare, among other things being provided for them for 'free' ( at taxpayer expense). It does not take a survivalist to prepare water and food stocks with days upon days of notice that a storm is approaching.

See that claim of overnight is incomplete at best. This storm, nor the flood, was something that happened 'just overnight'. It is false to claim that this was some kind of unknown impossible surprise where no action could have been taken beforehand. Seems to me that you attempt to omit the days upon days ,even weeks of warnings to get out of there. Not to mention the years and years of talks about what happens if/when NOLA does flood. This type of action leads me to the conclusion that you create an incomplete scene in order to deny the reality of this situation.

You claim dergatory statements made about people in nola, please post them and lets discuss the truth and merit of my statements and just see how your use of that word fails. Truth is truth sir, deal with it and accept it for what it is.

You claim again about an oil shortage. Where is it at sir? Yeah that is what I thought.
