While I understand your frustation, it has taken over two days alone to evacuate the hospitals and just get the critical care patients to other hospitals that will accept them. This isn't an easy task. For every sick person who leaves NO, they have to be placed somewhere else that has room..and doesn't disrupt the care of its own patients.
And sadly, most of the cities surrounding NO are also either damaged or dealing with those refugees who left before the storm. Buses can only carry 50 people at a time, and while the Astrodome has agreed to handle many of them, we are talking about relocating an entire city. This is a logistic nightmare, since even the surrounging areas are not equiped to deal with these people.
True, ALL I can say to you all folks, MY HEART BREAKS for the children and the elderly. I am outrageously angered at the freakin looters and those causing Chaos! Let me make it perfectly clear, I am in NO way giving those criminals a pass. I don't really know why they didn't evacuate when they were told, but instead of kicking them in the teeth, I'll do my best to help them. I have donated to the Salvation Army, Operation Blessing and I will continue to pray for a quick recovery of those states that have been literally devastated to the ground and for our Country and our President. Especially our president he needs all the wisdom in the world right now! :(
