Yeah. And I'd love to see the Leftist who could organize all that.

not only that, but even though given the circumstances it was NOT slow, it is going to be moving at a slower pace than it could becasue the best routes into New Orleans were decimated or severely damaged at least.

The I-10 bridge was decimated in many spots(only across southern Mississippi did it fare worse leaving only the pylons that support the roadbed), and with moderate to severe damage of the Lake Ponchartrain Causeway and the Bonnet Carre Spillway (spots where the roadbed is gone, and not enough complete on both sides between the various crossovers--even with which the approaches to the causeway are flooded), that leaves only two land routes directly into New Orleans: Airline Hwy (US 90) and the old Masonry bridge from Slidell (US 11). Going into N.O. Airline hwy is flooded in spots from the levees breaking along 17th st. and the industrial canal. The sheer storm surge floods us 11 2ft or more in spots, esp where it passes Michoud Assembly (NASA's shuttle tank facility) in the eastern part of Orleans Parish, not to mention the flood waters over us 11 on the northshore.
