Didn't you actually read it?
We were stranded tourists that ended up stranded due to Delta canceling our flight on Sunday at 11:25am
No, that's not the 'Other words' in this account. What's in this account is that the bureaucrats were standing IN THE WAY of people helping themselves and helping others, as illustrated in the case of the guy who would go into the Walgreen's pharmacy and dispense drugs. Reminds me of a story about Pearl Harbor, where some numskull refused to open the locked munitions store to pass out guns and ammunition during the attack because he hadn't received orders from above to do so. Somebody kicked in the door and got them anyway.
Wow. This post remends me of the UN mindset, where food is sent to the starving in Africa but never gets to them because the bureaucrats are too busy tying bows with red tape. This is disgusting, and I hope the mayor and the governor are FIRED.
For openers, what were you doing staying in New Orleans until after the airlines has suspended flights?
What were you doing while 400,000 plus New Orleans residents were getting the hell out of town?
Did you not take note of a shrinking number of people around and a general effort to leave the city?
What did you think that swirling cloud the size of the Gulf of Mexico was?
It was advertised exactly as what it was, a 165 mph killer storm. That was well known and broadcast widely for days before you decided you were having too much fun in New Orleans to let a lil' ol' hurricane spoil your fun.
I read the author of this sympathy appeal is from Florida.
Anyone from Florida who doesn't take a hurricane seriously ain't too bright.
In short, you are a couple of fools who are very lucky to be alive.
The answer to the question, "Who is in charge?" is quite simple.
When it comes to saving your own life, You Are In Charge!
