Do you notice the difference between this and Katrina? In this case, the problems arise because it’s nearly impossible to get supplies into the area and then distribute them. In New Orleans, the fact that most of the city was under water made for pretty pictures of Sean Penn, but the press ignored the fact that flooded streets prevented relief efforts.

Thank you for this post. You were so correct in your statement about this that I had to check to see if you were from Louisiana:) I see that you are from an area also very familiar with the damage of hurricanes. Though not a native, I lived much of my life until my marriage in Miami. I went through a few hurricanes and their aftermaths (I particularly remember Donna and Cleo), but none prepared me for the water hell that occurred here after Katrina passed through.
