The leadership in Louisiana has completely fumbled the ball, but what's happened here is several orders of magnitude worse than anything that happened in Florida. This is the worst natural catastrophe to hit the United States. There will probably be more loss of life than at any time since the Civil War. Had Jeb been in charge he might have done a better job, but this situation is more than anybody would have been able to handle well.
Remember that this is across three states. BUT, there in only a problem in ONE place...New Orleans.
In Florida the storm turned at the last minute so the preparations were at the wrong lace. In New Orleans the people were told to get out because it would be a DIRECT HIT but it turned away from New Orleans. They didn't get out.
Jeb WOULD have done a better job. The government in Louisiana is as dumb as some of its looter citizens.
Let me clarify some more...the other states are devastated but the moaning and groaning and whining that is occurring in New Orleans isn't happening there. The other states have handled it as well as Florida. I'm talking about Louisiana.
