Oceanview.... Have you considered that they're undoubtedly working on it as you type? I rather doubt that the FEMA folks and the thousands of rescue workers are spending all their time standing in donut lines.
OK. but they have to communicate that to people. right now, the public statements being made by Blanco/Nagin are ADDING to the fear. they tell them "evacuate the city". How? they tell them levees are failing, everything is going to hell. read the posts back a few pages summarizing their statements on the talk shows. you can't do that during an event like this.
