[What happened was all the fault of the RAT politicians in Louisiana and NO. The people have nobody to blame but themselves for electing them.]
I agree in that regard. I am talking to a situation whereby defined preps would have been put in place. Mississippi did well but the storm still caused great devastation. No planning can stop that.
But the real time failures of Nagin and the Gov. were monumental, I agree.
The full force of the hurricane’s winds hit the Mississippi coast, not NOLA, and state and local governments in Miss. responded admirably. The flood surge is what devasated NOLA, exacerbated by incompetent bungling and fraudulent prior misallocation of levee building and other funds, plus incompetent and indecisive chief executive officrs at both the state and local levels.
