We are witnessing incompetence of enormous proportions in that state government.
I said on a previous thread, that this hurricaine possiblity has been talked about for over 50 years, now it has finally happened. It's notlike they haven't had time to prepare. I would hope that my representatives were prepared for any worst case scenario. There job is to serve and protect. They have done neither very well.
I just listened on a national trucking radio show to a driver who is at a staging area some distance away from NO, on contract with FEMA. He says that they keep trying to send convoys in with supplies, and once they get close the convoys keep getting shot at, forcing them to turn around.
