The scene called to mind a refugee camp in a Third World nation. Liquor flowed freely and tempers flared amid complaints about the pace of the relief effort, which seemed to overwhelm the agencies involved and the city’s inability to contain flood waters.

Free flowing liquor and complaining about the government? That doesn't sound like a Third World refugee camp but New Orleans before the flood.

"Free flowing liquor and complaining about the government?"

Sounds like the last Democratic National Convention. Actually, I would complain myself if I was up to my knees in fetid flood water.
