Way cool photo! I am betting those are some of the 300 airboats brought in from Florida. WooHoo - Florida!

Florida knows hurricanes...

You just KNOW where those boats came from:)

KATRINA: I called my US Congressman's staff just now. A bit defensive re: FEMA Director Mike Brown. A bit putting the blame on the people who didn't evacuate. Well, FEMA was too slow, Louisiana had a lousy plan compared to Florida and to Texas. I said all should have been READY the weekend before KATRINA. I was told that it was just a category 1 then. I said "we cannot make assumptions about cat ones any more." Further, stated that these were Americans on my tv who were starting to succumb to heat stroke, seniors especially. Was told that this would be sad no matter who it was, American or not.

I stated that we help everyone around the world and get there quickly. This was not fast enough IMO. It's not a democrat or GOP problem. It is a preparedness problem.

My heart goes out to the people who are stranded in NOLO.

If the Feds are touchy about FEMA, they must be getting a lot of calls. P.S. The people who are getting violent but don't have weapons are probably suffering from heatstroke and dehydration. They are being left on their roofs. Some of the violent outbursts can be due to exposure. Now, the guys with guns, they are thugs.
