From what I've been reading on here, it sounds like they're literally doing drive-by supply runs; shoving MREs and water off the back of a truck and driving away. If that's the case, then of course the young and strong will get it all and the kids and elderly will suffer.
That's what's so frustrating. Just a couple of miles (or less) away from 15,000 desperate people, up on I-10 westbound, we've got an incredible force assembled. Aid workers, military, police, volunteers in their thousands...helicopters, trucks, buses by the hundreds...tons and tons of supplies. And yet we can't help these people with anything more than some dump-and-runs off the back of a truck? Argh, it breaks my heart thinking about it.
I know the boots on the ground there are doing everything they can, but still, just DAMN. I just have a lot of trouble accepting that this is the best we can do. Maybe it is, but it's very hard to accept that if true.

It's not the best we can do. We have no leadership to push. Boy are the locals putting down the Governor on WWL...
Then maybe someone needs to get the word out to the people that are not getting supplies. Tell them to hoof it up the road a couple of miles and get help and bring it back.
